I am looking around to replace the transmission on my 1995 Ford Windstar and the information that I received from several different mechanics is that the 1995 Windstar transmission is a "one year" transmission so you pretty much have to get a 1995 transmission for a 1995 windstar engine. I'm no mechanic and really have no idea but this is just what I've been told... someone out!
I appologize if I am wrong, but I have never seen an "oil" cooler in a Windstar. This is usually a aftermarket kind of thing. The engine oil is cooled inside the engine from the radiator fluid that runs through the radiator. There is also a transmission fluid cooler and possibly a steering cooler. All these will be located near or around the radiator in the front of the engine compartment. Actually there are certain windstars that have an additional factory oil cooler. The model I have run into is the 1998 Northwoods edition windstar. It has a factory standard oil cooler system mush like what is seen in large trucks.
It is on the front of the transmission case, below the cooler hoses.It is on the front of the transmission case, below the cooler hoses.
Check the transmission cooler and cooling lines for a blockage. It is quite possible the cooler is plugged.
On a 1998 Ford Windstar ( 3.0 and 3.8 liter V6 engines ) It uses a 4 speed automatic / overdrive transaxle ( transmission )

a call to your local salvage (junk) yard should answer this easily.
The transmission cooler is built into the radiator, and the tubes on the cooler are leaking Trans. fluid into the engine coolant. Need to replace radiator.

Replace freeze plug in a 1998 ford windstar ?
It is on the front of the transmission, between the cooler hoses.
Not likely - the 1999 Windstar was a rather significant updating of design compared to 1995-1998 models.
