02 tranny in an 01

[DerickAB72]

So I took my car to the transmission shop today and the dude just pi***d me off by telling me the tranny was shot and I needed a rebuild costing $2600. Hell I only paid $2k for the darn thing. Anyway found a guy with a remaned one he brought for his car but sold the car before he could put it in. Its for a 2002 v8 though and mines is a 2001. Are these trannys interchangable? I asked him fo rthe model because of course mines is an N and I believe 2001 was the last year they were used in the LS. By the way he only wants $300 for it also so if it will work I am going to scoop that up tomorrow. Can you guys help me out with that please.

Cool thanks for the info I am having the guy check right now. May need to take the day off just to go get that suck and take it straight to the shop and have them throw it in there.

GEN I
2000–2001, LS V6, Getrag 221 manual & 5R55N automatic
2002, LS V6, Getrag 221 manual & 5R55N automatic
2000–2002, LS V8, 5R55N automatic

GEN II
2003–2005, LS V6, 5R55S automatic
2003–2006, LS V8, 5R55S automatic



The base LS was powered by an all-aluminum 3.0 L DOHC V6 that was a variant of the Ford Duratec 30 engine. Optional in the LS was an all-aluminum 3.9 L DOHC V8, a shorter stroke variant of the Jaguar 4.0 L AJ-26 V8. The V8 was not offered as a manual because the Getrag could not handle the torque produced. Both engines required premium-grade gasoline for optimum performance. Ford's 5R55S 5-speed automatic transmission with an optional manual shift ability called SelectShift was standard with either engine while a Getrag 221 5-speed manual transmission was available for V6-equipped LS models through an optional sport package. Automatic transmission-equipped LS' featured a 3.58:1 rear axle ratio while manual transmission-equipped versions came with a 3.07:1 rear axle ratio. The available manual transmission made the LS the first Lincoln since the 1951 Cosmopolitan to have this option. In spite of this, Lincoln stopped production of the manual transmission model LS after 2002 due to low sales figures; only 2,331 were produced.

Other site splits Gen 1's by the codes I listed. I would look more into it. If others have done this trans swap then post to help op.
