it means your tranny has died and will need to be either replaced or rebuild. its common on mystiques & contours its happened to the best of us, usually around 100,000 miles or so.
Do you mean the shifter or car physically does not move? BClear.
i have a 1999 cougar mercury vehicle that all of a sudden doesn't reverse.Why?
im wandering where the transmission filter is on my 1996 mystique with a 4 cylinder.the filter has to go inside somewhere but not sure.if this is free it would be a huge help.perry
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone state that neutral works fine...................as if not doing anything would go wrong. It's time for "The Transmission Doctor"
I have a 2001 Mercury Cougar it goes in reverse and first and second but it wont go in drive when i put it in drive the rpm just go up.
If the gas tank is vapor locking when it is hot outside, on a Mercury Mystique, it is probably because too much air is getting into the tank when the vehicle is driven. Replace the gas cap and this problem should go away.
If you turn your steering wheel to the left as far as it can go and go to the FR (Front Right) tire you will be able to see it from there.
You either need a special tool from ford or you can make your own out of coat hanger wire. go to www.carstereohelp.com and click on mercury it will show you exactly how with diagrams.
my 2000 gose in reverse but not drive
slips or makes noise and wont go n reverse
pulled in ( if the reset button is popped out , there is no power being allowed to go to your electric fuel pump )
What you shoulddo is basically just go see a mechanic. That would be your best bet because they will know more than you or me know about cars.
