I got the tranny from Warford Auto they specialize in Ford lincoln and mercury. But here is the funny thing. I went to pick the car up today to take it to the shop and start ripping it apart. I knew I only had 1st and reverse when I dropped it got towed to the place that had it. I get in and she shifts perfect. A little bang on 2nd but other than that no problems. I talked to my mechanic and he told me that it sounds electrical. So he hooked it up and it is sowing like 6 codes on the tranny. Something about gear 2 gear 3 and gear 4. And torque converter switched to off. Those are the only ones I can remember. I also have a MAF code, A IMRC, and two O2 but I knew about those. But he said before we rip the tranny completley out since we have to take the battery box, the fans, the intake , and a few other things off the top to get the old out. He is gonna take the pan off the before we drop it and see if it has any clutch material in it. The fluid is bright red and no burnt smell.

So he says that he thinks is it all electrical because a transmission going out doesn't just fix itsel and Thinks the soleniod packs are bad and harnesss is rubbing.He is gonna take the ones out of the new tranny and put them in the old and see if that fixes everything. I hope so cause then it is half the labor price and I have a back up tranny just in case.
