Good luck with it
I don't know when you bought an OEM box from visteon but they no longer build new ones.

Visteon was the OEM supplier to Ford and they stopped making the Xr50 boxes when the Indeanoplois plant closed in 2008.

Motorcraft sell a used box that has been remanufactured in Renoysa Mexico.

Red head is a small family business in Washington that also remanufactures used xr50 boxes that were originally made by Visteon.
