There are many a '94 owner that has had to replace their transmission. I am one of them. There is probably no reason to spend any money on the old one. I did and regret it.
Get a price on a Ford remanufactured tranny, it has a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. I found that they were not far off from the local tranny shop. Plus I had them install the "needed" transmission cooler.
Bite the bullet, replace it. Don't waste $ trying to fix the old one!

Like I Said The Only Problem That It Has, Is When You Put In To Drive It Takes Forever But After That It Shifts Fine With No Slippage In Every Gear. When Trans Filter Was Changed There Was Some Grit In The Pan But No Metal Particles.
