Put the Dorman regulator (with motor) in with no issues. So glad I took bunches of pics as I pulled out the old one. Works great, one-touch up and down work perfectly. Now let's hope the other three hold up.

Waiting for delivery of my Dorman right front regulator with motor. I decided to get one with the motor thinking (hopefully) it would be pre-indexed to the regulator so the one-touch operation would be all set. My question is about the foam waterproofing sheet you have to remove to get at the...

Wow, the learning curve is getting pretty steep with this. Could be the rebuilder had worked on an early LS and perhaps assumed all LS years used the N. So if he was expecting an N on this car, I'm sure he was surprised by the S. Can't wait to talk to him on Monday.

As I said, I will be calling the rebuilder, but it sounds like the S trans might have been replaced with an N unit as they are the only ones used with the 3.9. So it sounds like someone might not have been forthcoming with some interesting, and significant, information. FYI, I found an...

I found online references to four versions of the Ford 5R55 model transmissions: "The 5R55 is a rear wheel drive 5-speed that appeared on 1999 and later vehicles. The 5R55W came out in the 2002 and later Ford Explorer and Ford Ranger models. The 5R55N appeared in the Jaguar S-Type and Lincoln...

Picked up the car and it's amazing how smooth and quiet the transmission now shifts! One curious comment from the rebuilder was regarding the transmission type that was in the car. The car was originally a Ford executive car. It was purchased in 2004 when it was less than a year old by the...

I have an old Lincoln and just sold an old Thunderbird and SAAB. Trust me, I am very familiar with that scenario. I never learn...

Found a vendor with a good reputation that will do a rebuild, including R&R, for a little over 2 large. The car is so perfect and well maintained, I'm going to make this financial commitment this one time. I will include photos when done. Thanks to all of you for all the feedback.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm searching for both used and rebuilt and getting R&R costs. I'll let you all know what is decided.

My question also included the option of selling it as is as a project, or installing a used trans with a 1-year warranty, and then selling it. Doing the reman or rebuilt would seem to be a committment to keep the car for the long haul. (Due to the multi-thousand dollar expense needed.)

Long time listener; first time caller. I did a search, but couldn't find an answer to my situation. I have an 04 V8 Ultimate with 190k. Everything works as designed. I purchased it 3 months ago from the original owner who kept every receipt since the car was new. No problems until trans...
