Windstar LX 3.8L
It all started with the overdrive light flashing causing it to shift up and down erratically Ford said it was our computer for our tranny and cost about $1000 for the part. Which we fixed by taking the battery hook up off for 30 sec. fix the problem for another 2 years hehehe screw you ford. Then a month ago the tranny slips and i only have 2nd gear. I call around and get told to shoot it by numerous mechanics. Or pay $4000 for a rebuilt one. So I drive it to see what happens I end up getting to drive it for 1000km more in 4th gear it shifting in 2nd of course. Weird i know. But the real kicker is once and a while it will drive in drive as if nothing had happened shift like new. Changed the fluid cleaned the shaving and filter. Now it will not drive in anything but 1 gear guess it is really time to shoot it.
We are thinking about filling tires with propane and shooting at for a while gotta get a little smile some how
