2005 Crown Vic Police Interrupter P71 - 115,000 miles Used transmissions claim to be $375 in my area. They have a 3 year warranty but of course wouldn't cover the "labor" if it needed returned. The car is in very excellent condition except for the transmission. It might fetch $3,000 if working. Whine up front. The car moves until about 18 mph then slips into neutral until the car is stopped. This would be about where 1st gear goes into 2nd gear. Press the OverDrive button on the gear shift column off and it goes into Limp MMode (only runs in 1st). Commute 18 blocks on residential streets to Light Rail for 6 months doing this. Transmission fluid is perfect, no metal or discolor. Transmission fluid level is exactly right. It is a tough call. In Denver, all the transmission places want close to $3,000 and then they don't google up the best of reliability. The car is old enough that a used one might be just as good if I can find a cheaper transmission repair place.
