Auto Parts: 95 3.8 transmission automatic, pep boys, repair vehicles


Question
What model transmission came in this vehicle? I see transmissions for sale used but do not know if they will interchange. Often the seller claims they will but I want to know before paying and finding I have a Chevy transmission and not a ford. I know there are tags on the parts or numbers in the castings themselves.

Answer
Hi Karen,

I'd need those ID numbers to even attempt to find what you are looking for. If you tell me what vehicle you are trying to replace the trans in, I can give you the interchange application for THAT one and end your confusion.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
