The tranny has a slow shift from 1st to 2ond. Research showed that the AXOD on the pan is the same as AX4S. Looking for a tranny manual and rebuild kit, I only found ref to AXOD.
Question: can I transplant a AXOD tranny from an earlier Taurus/Sable/Lincoln into the model 1998 year car? Say from a 1992?

Not something you want to do. The AX4S of 1998 is much superior to the AXOD-E (AX4S) of 1992. 91-92 is the worst time period for these transmissions, because the electronic version of the AXOD was new then.

Far as i know, 91 and 92 also had a different plug on the trannie from the computer. You also need to know if your problem is electrical or the trannie. The computer tells it when to shift. It may not be the trannie. A good trannie shop with a shafer shifter test kit or such should be able to tell. An AXOD is a hydraulically shifted trannie used in 1990 and earlier. AXODE was the 1991+ electronically shifted variant.
