"86" Taurus GL wagon trans problem

Greetings Ford Fans, I just bought an 86 Taurus with a slipping trans. From what I've been able to discover, there is an aluminum piston, that needs to be a steel piston, that is causing the problem. I and my son are adventurous souls and are going to repair the transmission. All I know about this creature is that from 86 to 91, this was a problem. I'm not really sure this is my problem. Does anyone know anything about this problem and what I'm going to discover when I get in there? The internet is very vague and incomplete in it's description of the problem.

Thanks Glen Ray
