#117 of 128 Re: 1995 windstar shifting problems [jeaks4] by pullithard Aug 22, 2009 (1:15 pm)
Replying to: jeaks4 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) Sorry to hear about your Tranny problems.   The problems with these tranny's are common and unless you are getting a rebuild expect to replace it every couple of years. Rebuilds are the way to go as they correct the problems that have been plaguing these tranny's for the last 15 years. Therefore, the salvaged one while cheaper will not do you much good, unless you put one in and sell it. However, that would not be very nice.   Good luck. The Tranny will have to be pulled. I have a PDF of the 95 tranny's that tells you how to problem solve this problem if you want it. Let me know your e-mail.   Jason
#118 of 128 '95 tranny for '98? Both 3.8L engines by todd463 Aug 24, 2009 (5:44 am)
Hi all, I'm selling a transmission that was pulled out of a 95 Windstar. It was rebuilt by Ford and only has about 5000 miles on it. A guy e-mailed me and asked if it would fit into his 1998 Windstar, which also has the 3.8L. I'm a diesel mechanic, not an auto mechanic, so I don't want to steer him wrong. Thanks in advance! Todd
#119 of 128 2003 Windstar tranny failure - 2nd time by inkitup Aug 29, 2009 (6:23 pm)
This happened 1 1/2 years earlier and had it fixed at AAMCO for $2400. I was in stop and go traffic when all of a sudden my RPM shot way up and and I had no drive. I pulled over only to find out I only had park and permanent neutral. They said I needed an new torque converter, new pressure control sensor, new assy. Kit, filter - 2nd design, and new overdrive band.   Well, at 1:30pm today I was returning home and was turning a corner, at 5mph, when all of a sudden my RPM shot way up and I had no drive. There was no noise associated with this at all. I coasted off to the side only to find out I had no R,D,1,2 and only park and permanent neutral again.   If the work was done, could any of this actually have fixed the issue I'm having?   Now, I'm wondering if this all was even necessary or if they even did the work? I have been reading about this problem all over the net and it seems to be a big problem with this model. I have read it could be the TRS, a mis-programmed PCM or even the VSS.   Does anyone have a possible solution? Or, has anyone had this same problem and have it fixed properly? And if so, what was done to solve it?   Fred

Replying to: mustangracer09 (Oct 24, 2009 7:52 pm) there is another speed sensor on the driver side. you have to remove the wheel to access it. also have you replaced the range sensor on top of the transmission?

#124 of 128 Van not moving in any gear? by akdalton Nov 28, 2009 (12:42 pm)
While my wife was driving our ford, the van stopped running. The engine turns on but the van will not move when put into any gear. A fly by night machanic looked at it for about 2 minutes while in the dark. He told me the transmission needs replaced. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you- Replies to this message: pullithard (Nov 29, 2009 6:03 am)

Replying to: akdalton (Nov 28, 2009 12:42 pm) Sorry about this but it is the torque converter. It will need to be ripped out which is costly and difficult. Overall, it will cost you about $1000.00-1500.00. I did mine myself and with the special lift and tools I think I will leave it for a mechanic next time. Difficulty rating on doing this job at home, subjectivley I gave it a 9.0/10.   Good luck.
