Hey thanks for the info...I read the owner's manual and it states that it is a automatic transmission with built in overdrive. It states that once the vehicle reaches a cruising speed it should shift into fourth gear but that is not happening. So, I was gonna take your advice and go ahead and get the filter, fluids, and torque converter fluid changed but do you think that it would be an issue with a shift sensor?

Not knowledgeable regarding the shift sensor, however, after the fluid, filter change, see how it operates.
 
I've two Ford O/D's each with over 110,000 miles and haven't changed the shift sensors in either, just the oil and filter change in the transmission every 30 to 40 thousand miles.

I was wondering if you could give me any insite on the windows. My motors are functioning, but the windows down let up or down and as a matter of fact they slowly but surely fall. Would that be due to the plastic teeth in the window gear kit being worn or does that have anything to do with the regulator?

Re: Plastic teeth on window roll downs, don't know. What I have learned is to avoid slamming the doors. Door slamming seems to shorten the life of those little motors in the bottom that power windows.

1999 cvi I backed out of a parking space and when I went to shift from reverse to drive I have nothing.The transmission is in netural.
I tried to shift it manualy at the transmission with no results other than it is no longer in netural.
Any help would be appreciated.

My 1996 ford crown vic police interceptor shifts rough. Not really noticeable when cold but when hot you can feel it shift rough up and down.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) by puccaducc

To all that may know....please answer this question that I am not 100% sure of. I have a 92' Ford Crown Vic. I noticed that my speedometer needle had spuratic movement so I changed the speed sensor. The sensor is electronic and does not use a cable on this model car but after changing the sensor, the speedometer is not working at all. Do I need to have the system reprogrammed and if so, will disconnecting the battery cables reboot the car's system?

'90 CV Tranny troubles by dj7trypp

Ok, so at first all it was doing was slipping in fourth after 45mph. Then it only had second gear and I decided to start overhauling the drivetrain. I have replaced both control boxes under the dash, changed the fluid and filter, checked the shift linkages and made sure the transmission was fully engaging the gears. After I put it all back together it only had first. Then it had first and second, and then even third for a short period of time. Now it's back to just 2nd and it makes a slight grinding noise in reverse. I am looking at a master overhaul kit, shift kit, and torque converter from b&m. Anyone have any suggestions?? and how do I adjust the kick-down cable??
