Ford WindstarIntroduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.
I have a 98 windstar 3.8l. The body got totaled but engine and trans are fine. Can I put the engine and trans from my 98 into a 95 windstar that is a 3.8 also. The transmission is no good on the 95.
Ford hasn't really changed much between the years 1996-2002 (hence same problems occur)
That would probably not work because the 95 and the 98 transmissions have different gear ratios and unless you get the computer reprogrammed for the 1998 transmission settings, it will shift your tranny to death.
But keep hope alive, you can get a 1995 transmission at junk jards such as Harry's u-pull it for $35 (though i don't know if i'd trust it)
