Transmission question

[AbelNavyvet]

Ok quick questions...... Would a 2004 crown victoria police interceptor with the 4.6 having a 4R75W transmission, would that transmission fit a 06 expedition with the 5.4 engine having the same 4R75W transmission. Is there some where i can call? A website i can look at? Plz help...

If you have access to the interceptor make sure you get the pcm if it hasn't been reflashed. You will be amazed at the performance difference between the two.
Check Rock Auto for a reman trans for both units and the torque converter. If the numbers are the same it would be a direct replacement.

I doubt the interceptor PCM will work. They only came with 4.6L 2Vs.

In that case you would have to lock the cam phasers. Another issue to consider would be the emissions for the 06 year.
Where I live we don't have emission testing, so anything goes.

Transmissions should be the same. Output yoke may be different if Expy is a 4wd since it hits a t-case not a driveshaft.

No I had to let the Tranny go I called Ford and Paul from Customer Service said that the tranny wont fit for 3 reasons the Yoke, The Shifting points, and that tranny is made for a 2V. An that dude in Kingsville, TX was asking 75$

 

[Lostneye]

The shift points are controlled by the computer. The yoke is easily changed is that is the only issue. I did not think 2Vs and 3V have different bell housings but I am not sure on that.

$75 for a trans means it is a core or has issues.

 

[AbelNavyvet]

That's what I thought but when I went to the dudes house he showed it to me and it looked fine but looked rather small so I decided to call Ford instead.

This is only meant shine a different light...
What can you tell by looking at something? You only see the outside - not the internal condition. How are the clutch packs, bands, bearings and sprags. Can you tell?
It is always "buyer beware". Different story if the owner can produce paperwork on a recent rebuild.

All mod motors have the same bellhousing.

A transmission should always be considered as a core if you buy it without being able to test drive it before it's removed from the vehicle. The only exception is if it comes from a rebuilder with warranty. I'd even say the same about engines....

Its better you didnt get it. It will bolt up. But the output shaft is longer and a smaller diameter on the 2wd models. You have to remove all the internals to get to the output shaft. It would be a good time to look at all the clutch packs and internal seals. But not a fun job to do. Everything else is the same, and as its been said before the shift points are set by the computer. The bell housing bolts up to all mod motors. 4.6l and 5.4 l.
