no
sounds like one of the valves in the valve body is sticking when it gets hot (metal expands). Sounds like a Ford automatic overdrive to me.
As far as I know , the Ford Taurus has always had some form of V6 engine Unless you had a Taurus SHO , some years had a small V8 engine
if automatic first install a extra transmission cooler,and use syntheic ATF.You can turbocharge engine to make it faster.
Overdrive lets the engine run slower at highway speeds. This saves on gas.
bad filter and fluid,bad front pump,or the overdrive is going out common problem when using overdrive in the city limits meant for the highway start and always stoping not good to be in overdrive cant stress enough here at the house until she spent $3770.00 dollars dont have to tell her anymore
The first one is faster
Is this a Ford truck? If so, put id Drive (not overdrive) to drive it as necessary. If you are a commercial entity, standard practice is to ignore the problem. To fix, rebuild the tranny? If this isn't a Ford, please ask the question again specifying the vehicle type including make model year engine and transmission.
Its my understanding that the 92 and 93 Tranny is the same for the two years. It might make a difference if one is a electronic 4-wheel drive and the other is not.
Ford did not make a 251 cubic inch engine.
Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.
the overdrive is used to save gas. it is an additional gear after your final gear in the transmission. this gear usually kicks in at higher speeds (maybe 50+). you will notice the tach drop down about 500 rpm's as the vehicle kicks into overdrive. it does not make your car go faster or slower. you will not have be able to accelerate as fast in overdrive as you will in other gears. if it is an automatic overdrive then as you slow down the overdrive will automatically be taken off.
You push the little button under the T-handle on the shifter, driver's side.
