Used Ford Transmissions For Sale
Used Ford Transmissions are selling very well. The main transmissions we sell for Ford products are the Ford truck transmissions. Not very many rear wheel drive (RWD) Ford cars have transmission problems, except the Ford Exploder, I mean Ford Explorer, that is when the car is used appropriately and gets regular maintenance. The front wheel drives (FWD) have many more transmission problems and failures. In general FWD transmissions are taking over from RWD vehicles in most cars and the mid sized to smaller vans.
The most problematic transmissions, which are primarily used in the truck line and large vehicles like the Navigator, and some of the other Ford ‘boats’ on the road.
#1. The Ford transmissions deemed E4OD or C-6 with an overdrive as many mechanics call it, were the original BIG Ford overdrive/computerized transmissions. Used primarily in trucks, were a real disaster. Problematic and failure prone when introduced in the late ’80’s. Within a few years Ford corrected many of the issues, but many holes were left to be figured out by the top transmission men in the country. And before long R&D companies like Transgo had put an effective update kit on the market.
#2. The 4R100 replaced the E4OD in 1997 and was a modest upgrade in durability, yet was manufactured with some less than desirable parts. The manufacturer went from using good old fashioned cast iron clutch drums and other components that take a beating to a stamped steel replacement part. In essence the transmission worked better and had a potentially better life span, but under extreme duress, the stamped steel components, which were not as strong as the older cast iron components would literally rip apart. Cured one issue and developed another.
FYI: Many of the cast iron E4OD components would interchange with the 4R100 transmission, making it very durable. There is so much to say technically about these units, I’ll leave it at that.
#3. The 5R100W replaced the 4R100 in 2004. This unit is a 5 speed automatic transmission, keeping up with the times. Essentially very similar to the 4R100, with another gear added. This is quite a good transmission and seems reliable and trouble free for the most part.
Ford transmissions are in my opinion are designed with good integrity and structure. Regardless of what brand of transmission you buy, if the vehicle was beat up and not taken care of, the best transmissions in the world would be no good.
