Goofy tranny on , you guessed it, 97 Taurus
Hi,
First post here! I have a question on a 97 Ford Taurus transmission. This car jerked real hard at a stop light, then the car wouldnt move, engine just revs. Make a long story short, we took it to a mechanic friend. He said tranny is shot, 2000 bucks to replace it. This car was towed back and forth from mechanics to my house. Fast forward a month of it sitting in my driveway. I start it up today, put it in drive for funnies and it works! What the?? Works like nothing was ever wrong with it.
I am still sure it is the tranny, just dont know what on it, it could be. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

And a cold tranny will often work until it heats up. I would suggest you drive it until it dies for good and then drop it off at the nearest recycler for about $50/ton; about what it was worth when it rolled off the FoMoCo assembly line.
