Got a great deal or so I thought when I purchased a 97 Taurus. It ha
tranny problems but the price for the car was worth putting in a ne
tranny or so I thought. The previous owner put a 3.0l v6 in the ca
instead of a 3.4l v8. He changed the computer and the motor run
great,but the tranny shifting is all wrong. I took the car to a trann
specialist but because the vin number on the car does not match what i
stored in the computer they are not able to view any info. Is there an
numbers on the motor that might match it to the vin# of the car it w
removed from? If the tranny is the wrong type for the motor how can
tell. If I buy a new computer with an associated vin# and tranny t
match the 3.0l will it work

I have to figure this is a AX4N trans & 3.0 Duratec? (changing a AX4N to
AX4S/AXOD or vice-versa is a daunting task without 2 complete vehicles,
& the 3.4 always has the AX4N)
I would go to eBay and "borrow" a VIN from a car for sale that matches
the year, engine & trans you have now, and use that VIN to get the
calibration correct... it MIGHT work...
