Welcome to FTE

What type of trans? Manual or automatic?

Yes and no. There are two possibilities. It's either a C6, which is the best transmission Ford ever made, or an AOD = automatic overdrive, one of the worst transmissions Ford ever made. If it is an AOD, stay out of O/D in heavy traffic, and install the largest trans cooler you can find. Heat is the mortal enemy of the AOD. The warranty (VIN) Plate will have the TRANS code. Post it, it can be decoded.

well, if im not mistaken, the AOD has 14 bolts on the pan, and the c6 has 17.

mine has 14 bolts, but is a 3 speed auto.

so i have the AOD right?
