A Sticker on the Transmission?

I had the same on the original transmission in my '93.
I remember reading the TSB once a long, long time ago. It had something to do with tracking early design changes? Service issues were supposedly resolved with specific instructions or the suspect transmission was replaced and the original transmission shipped to Ford (presumably for the automotive equivalent of an autopsy).

I have seen them on almost all 93's we butchered....and as quickly as I read them, I ignored them.
the only 93 tranny we lunched was the white 93 pearly I "brought back to life"...did a complete service flush on it, updated pan and filter, shift accumulators and took it out for a road test. shifted perfect until 40 miles later we went 2-1 WOT down shift and she went bye-bye.
Old fluid looked like it had chunks in it and both upper and lower accumulator springs for the 1-2 were broken so i figured I'd flog it before I gave it back to the owner...it didn't survive so I swapped in a used 95 tranny.
Funny, when I took the 93 out, the factory torque converter had a sticker on it stating it had been a rebuilt TC from Ford. car only had 70k on it so I was puzzled. I have a picture of the old TC SOMEWHERE.

Thanks Craig for another piece of the puzzle.
I haven't changed the fluid out yet, but I will soon. I'll look to see if I see anything on the torque converter.
It feels like the accumulator was already updated, or the original hasn't failed yet, as the 1-2 shift is very smooth (too smooth
)
I've got a spare J mod 97 trans in the garage, I'm just not looking to change the trans out now.
I'm still enjoying driving the heck out of this car.
