don't know what happened to it.Bought the car two years ago with 51,000 miles on
it. Now has 86,345 miles on it. Buford update me in the high mile club.

That sticker means nothing. It is only used on the original transmission. When
the cars were first built Ford wanted to document early transmission failures.
They didn't want the dealers opening them up and tampering with the evidence.
Upon instruction from Ford, the dealer would simply remove the tranny, replace
it with a new or rebuilt one and ship the old one back to Ford for inspection.
They did this on all years for a certain length of time, typically 3-5 months.

My transmission had a sticker like that but the dealership got greedy and rebuilt it any way thinking it would make more money rebuilding than just replacing with a fresh unit. Then they got in it and so much needed replaced they took a bath.
I can live with that, if the transmission holds up.
