would you chance buying a used 5R110 automatic transmission? Only reason I'm asking is because I'm on a budget. But also maybe worried that it wont last long either but not sure.

If I could do it for 2k I'd be happy but absolute most I can spend with is 3k total with transmission and having a shop install it.

If I was getting a used transmission, and at this point in my Ford experience the only way I would go, I would hunt the local yards and physically look at the truck the trans was coming out of if I could. Or at least get the lowest mileage. Many dismantles will deliver to a installing shop too.

These OE transmissions are pretty robust so unless poor maintenance or a truck that’s been “hot rodded” should not be an issue. I typically pull the lubricants and do a pan inspection before I carry a powertrain something out of a yard.

I got yea thanks for the help and advice. Where I live out in Montana there's not alot of places to source a used 5R110. If it was you what range of mileage on a trans would you look for 50k-100k miles?

Using car-part.com there are a lot of choices out there. You need to hunt under your zip code though.

You were doing the same as I was.

But you do need to have a warranty, preferably one that covers the flipping charge.

Ive used LKQ. Gotta get it in the truck before warramty runs out so if there is an issue you can get a swap. I have a Jasper in mine. Great warranty with them
