Transmission- its alive!!

[Quick Pony]

Well, about 2 months ago my transmission died on my 1991 LX 5.0 convertible with AOD. Only had second gear and reverse. I drove it about 7 times in the neighborhood with no change. I decided it would have to wait until after the holidays to get it fixed.

I started the car today and drove to my friends house about 3 blocks away and the car is now shifting!! Drove it a little futher and tranny is shifting fine.

Ever heard of this happening?

Should I take it and have a transmission flush and get new fluid?

Please advise.

Thanks

Larry

Not sure, I am kinda curious about this as well. My tranny in my 93 was working fine then all of a sudden overdrive stopped working, but everything else still works just fine

There is a 5 speed mustang tranny for 50 bucks on craigslist but I want to do a 5.0 swap on the car so I don't know if its worth it converting it as a 4 cylinder then buying everything again for 5.0
