What are the symptoms of a failing transmission on a Ford Taurus?

Answer 1

There are multiple warning signs indicating the failure of automatic transmission. If the dipstick fluid shows a burnt smell or is black there could be a heat condition. Failure to hold gear, as in high rpms/engine speed and not shifting up is known as slippage. if the vehicle cannot stay in gear the clutch packs could be worn out or damaged. Sound such as grinding while in gear indicate the failure of hard metal parts, Automatic transmissions are complex and such issues require inspection and diagnosis by trained professionals as soon as possible for safety and to prevent further damage.
