Transmission Control Module cost to replace?

[98TurboVan]

Hello everybody after driving my truck today at work it started shifting all crazy and throwing some codes.

Took it by a tranny shop and they said the Transmission Control module went out and needs to be replaced.

For diagnosis, The transmission control module part, labor to replace it and comes with a 1 year warranty came to about $500.00 is this a good price or too much?

Thanks.

there is a guy here talking about parting out his truck, recent thread somwhere. you might see if his truck has a compatable TCM... it may not in the 98, are those 2nd gen motors?

I believe they are the 2nd gen. I will look for that thread thanks.....

I called the ford dealership to try to see if they had the part and the guy on the phone couldn't find a TCM ( Transmission Control Module) part in his system I wonder if ford calls it somthing else.

it may be integrated with the PCM, all in one... if it turns out to be a 2nd gen post in teh 99-03 forum, they might have more info.
