ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Default 98 escort automatic trans rebuild

Hello all, my first post here and i have a question. I have a 98 escort wagon and the trany is beggining to go, been that way for a while but some day it will quit, has anyone ever rebuilt their own trany and if so did you use a repair manual, where did you get it, how much in parts did you spend? Thanks for any help.

There are alot of specialty tools required to rebuild a tranny and its alot of work to take it back out if it doesnt work.Some shops will rebuild it for you if you want to save the money on removal and instalation.

thank you, I was hoping it would be a fairly simple transmission for a fairly simple car but I guess I will deal with it when I need to.
