I work at a Ford dealer and we have seen very little trouble with this trans-axle. We replaced a mectronics unit in one and replaced one complete assembly, other then that we have had no trouble with them and personally would have no fear of buying one.
SOURCE: how do you disconnect engine from transmission?
get the front end up on some jack stands, take the starter out, and you can access torque converter nuts from starter hole. you will need to turn the engine by hand and have someone else hold the engine still while you undo the nuts. Once those nuts are off and every thing else is removed from the transmission (CV shafts, wire connectors, etc) remove the bell housing bolts (5 or 6 I think) and pull (may need to pry with a bar some) the trans away from the engine and let it down gently. I believe (although I don't do much transmission work) that you may need to remove the sub-frame a as well.

SOURCE: do I need to change transmission fluid on my 2005 ford freestyle
The high pressure filter and fluid are supposed to be changed at 60k intervals. Ford has a very specific oil for this transmission and the service fee will be $300 to $450 - mine was around $420.
No other car place will touch the CVS transmission in a Ford Freestyle and most Ford dealerships are clueless on thier maintenance and repairs. On most issues that crop up the first thing they want to do is swap it out - for $4000+.
