Or cheaper if you rebuild it yourself. You can get a kit for less that $150.
Lots of time and effort involved, though. I rebuilt a HydroShift (or
whatever it was) out of a '74 Nova years ago, and I'm not too sure I'd do it
again. Your best bet would be to call around and see what the locals will
charge.

I was a couple of states from home when mine went out at about 85k
miles...Ford just can't get it together on their transmissions.

The dealer didn't have a new one in stock,,it would have had a 123 month
twelve thousand mile warranty. He found me a rebuilt one from 'Victory
Transmissions' with a 75 thousand mile warranty. Cost me 2700.

I just spent $1500 out the door on my rebuild for a 92 Explorer. Don't
recall the transmission type but yours looks similar to mine. I then
spent $80 on the slave cylinder, and $120 on the master cylinder hosing.
Plus fluids.
