Default Need help w/Taurus auto transmission prob

'95 Taurus 165,000 mi. Lost all but Lo gear while driving. Can put it
in Dr & can accelerate from stop. Stays in Lo. When I let off gas,
coasts as if in neutral. Doesn't re-engage until RPM's pick up to match
the speed in Lo.

Have Reverse. Fluid at bottom of cross-hatch on dipstick when cold.

Any tips?

Sounds like mine 3 years ago, a gear broke, rebuild-replace-throw away.

Mr. Knukkles
To address a few of your concerns,
this group is here for techs to vent frustration over having to
work 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for over 30 years in an
industry that is hopelessly dependent, for the most part, on customers
that come through the door expecting cheap miracles, low cost snake-oil
remedies, and free or low cost repairs with absolutely no second
thought
to the dude that's doing them. Also, it's here to help folks like you
muddle
on through life with the help of others because your damned lazy to do
a
simple google in an NG on a topic that's been addressed a thousand
times
in the past.

as for a link to where you may find what yer asking for......

here try this link, i think maybe you'll be happy with it.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...6bfe0464093151

I've been following it....it seems to have what you need....
less frustrated techs.




Now,
as for me being an expert......
not me. I work down at the loading docks.


A site for a better understanding and usage of terminology..??
yeah......i know a few of them....do what I did...GOOGLE.
You seem to be an intellegent sort of feller..........
go for it. Do a repost, let us know what you came up with.
After all, we're rooting for you, we want you to ATTEMPT to
fix this thing yerself. We know you can't. But..we want to
see you try.


and last.......
I was not questioning yer motives.
I was hoping you would come back with some proliferated overly
selfindulgent post that would open the door into a better understanding
of your overall worth as a customer. You know, drag out of you some
spewing of insight into your thought process, some sense of what you
have in you as a man, some hint as to your level of patients and
understanding
toward technicians......don't want no arse-hole customers you know.
Lifes jest to short. It's easier to spend a sec or two right up front
to
eliminate a few weeks of bullsheet.
What I expected, and what you gave, was a selfindulgent ranting of
selfworth, a brief synopsis of your experience, a gloating on your
history as a species of the human race, and doorway into your life.
Now that i see that you've got balls, are somewhat literate, and have
a firm grasp of the english lanquage in written form...
I would like to save you a lot of time, anquish, wasted money, and
most importantly skint knuckles........

here's the facts about your vehical, it's symptoms, and what it's gonna
take to enact a satisfactory repair.......


It's broke.....
It's broke bad.....

you can't fix it.

there's no bandage.
there's no patch.
there's no trick.
there's no snake-oil remendy.
there's no doubt.....
it's gotta come out!



in closing.....

hopefully this trist will lead to a working relationship that will
last for
years to come.....if not....oh well, i'll jest wait fer the next
opportunity
to make a good customer out of another individual with high
expectations.
Keep in mind.....when you go to the doctor with a pain in your arse,
he pokes you all over to be sure he has you working well.




lastly, and purely out of curiosity,

What do you do for a living?

I work on transmissions.



~:~
MarshMonster
~appreciates the fact that you didn't use bad lanquage and bull-whips
on
him......good form~
