HELLO ALL...
I am currently restoring my 1969 LTD.* I had a local shop that was going to restore the car with my help.* We ordered the motor and the 6spd auto trans from a wrecked mustang and started tearing apart the car.* We got the front end rebuilt, the rear axle done and all the brakes done.* We now started to place the motor in and one of the techs came up to me and told me we were going to have problems using this transmission.* I brought it up to the owner and he told me he was hoping Ford would find a fix for the problem, but they have not come up with a solution yet.* I know the basics on how motors and transmissions work but do not understand the problem.* We have the complete motor and transmission out of the wrecked car.* The motor and trans only had 11k miles and the wrecked car was running and would drive before the motor was pulled.* I have all the wiring for the motor and trans as well.* I was told that the transmission will not shift and the motor with the transmission attached and in the wiring harness will not even start.* I was not very happy upon hearing this news and asked what the next step.* I want to use this motor and trans setup not only because I have a lot of money in it, but because I think it would be a great setup.* Basicily I could sell the auto 6 spd trans and put in a 4 spd auto trans and redo the ECU and wiring harness or wait and see when Ford comes out with a fix.* I am trying to be proactive and find a solution before we get to that point.* *

I am asking for any advise.* I have always had great luck when running into a problem, to go to forums for advise.* This is my first time on this forum in a long time, but I am sure there are very knowledge people that know what I need to do.* Thank all of you for your help.* I am stuck in a really bad spot and appreciate all the help more than you know.* *

Joe
