Getting a 5 speed to bolt into the windstart isn't as easy as stated above. The Tauruses with 5 speed transmission used a Yamaha engine, but the transmission on those would only bolt up to the Vulcan 3.0 IIRC.
Those mopar AOD fwd trannies were horrible, but, they sorted it out sometime in the late 90s-early 00s. I had an 02 GC that shifted like new on its original tranny when I sold it at about 130K.
