Re: New motor for a '94 E350?
A couple more photos from visiting the shop. They say the input shaft on the transmission is locked up implying further damage within. A nice chunk missing from the casting so welding would be more...

Re: New motor for a '94 E350?
I'm plumbing the vehicle's service history for the last shop to touch the transmission. I have records for a rebuild in 2001 (at 48k miles), but the mechanic doesn't think it can be that old. ...

Re: New motor for a '94 E350?
Let me paraphrase to see if I get what you are saying.
