Replying to: dannyodoul (Jan 11, 2009 11:34 am) You are correct.   In addition the OD transmission automatically reverts to using OD upon a fresh start of the engine.

Replying to: dannyodoul (Jan 11, 2009 11:34 am) It doesn't have an OD button, it just has the standard display and gear shift. I've noticed that at times when I am driving it gets all the first gears smoothly but on the last gear it hesitates to get that one and when it does get it....it is when I'm going at least 45 or 50 mph when it hesitates but then slowly shifts to the last gear. If I accelerate and the speed makes a sudden change it doesn't go back to that gear....it just sounds as if I am in the previous gear. Could that be the shift sensor?

Replying to: puccaducc (Jan 12, 2009 7:20 am) The O'D button is at the center end of the directional lever, hard to see from the usual point of view. Try pushing in the end of the gear shift (directional lever) & see what happens. Otherwise, read the Owners Manual as to its location.

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 12, 2009 10:18 am) 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?

Replying to: puccaducc (Jan 13, 2009 8:54 am) 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.

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 14, 2009 1:09 pm) 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? Replies to this message: euphonium (Jan 17, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: puccaducc (Jan 16, 2009 5:00 pm) 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.
#82 of 87 1996 Crown Vic rough shifting by robertwow456 Mar 02, 2009 (7:40 pm)
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.
#83 of 87 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) by puccaducc Mar 31, 2009 (8:26 am)
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?
