'04 V-6 Automatic Tranny Question

I'm looking at a 2004 Mustang for my wife which had an automatic tranny in it. The Stang has the 3.8 V-6 in it. The problem I'm having is finding a replacement transmission for it, seeing someone hit something and busted out the bottom of the bellhousing exposing the torgue converter. Everyone is telling me that the automatic transmissions in 2004 V-6 Mustangs are different than the '99 - '03 mustangs. I'm needing to know if that is correct, or find a good research site on tranny's. Thanks!

My thoughts exactly

Thanks for the reply! That is exactly what I thought, but didn't have my hands on the car yet to get it up on a lift an really check it out. I couldn't see Ford designing a new tranny for use in one year of a Mustang either...

All the salvage yards and even my local Ford dealer is telling me this same information. At least, that is what their computers are telling them. I think I'll go in and talk to the Ford's tranny tech and try to find out the real deal.

Do you know if an automtic tranny out of a V-8 would bolt up to the 3.9 engine by any chanc? I know where I can get a decent deal on one of these!
