31ACoupe

Hi! I am looking for information on a transmission that will work with a 3.0L v6. It is matched to an A4LD and I would like to find another tranny that would work. It dosen't have to be an overdrive.
Thanks, Keith

.gtv6ford to be honest I dont know which engine it is all I know is that it is a 3.0L. Im looking to find another type of auto tranny to replace it with. It is in a 90 mod Aerostar van. Thanks for the help, Keith

Fordtech.

Bolt-hole spacings on all Ford bell-housings are pretty much the same, it's other things you have to worry about. Main differences will be engine-to-input shaft matching, rear g/box mount, gear lever position, and propshaft lengths.
Older C3 type should be ok.

Hi
3.0 in Aerostar is not same as essex engine but is same as Mazda 3.0
our box is A4LD do a search on google and you'll get heaps of info. from my research any trans c3,c4, a4ld, should fit including out of a 4.0 Aerostar. but like Fordtech says it's other bits you need to worry about. Ive got a 92 3.0 and am in the process of trying to find out the differences between all the boxes and what mods can be done to fit a newer transmissions to my older van.
