The Bands in the transmission are slipping/ the tranny is bad.
Will a 1997 Aerostar transmission fit in a 2000 ford ranger?
On a 1993 Ford Aerostar : The automatic transmission modulator is on the passenger side of the transmission ( it might be behind a heat shield )
will it not pull at all or just not well?? Could be low on transmission fluid if its having trouble moving when in drive.... I know i have seen it happen on a 95' ford aerostar, not an 89 though... If it doesn't move at all, perhaps shift linkage is not putting transmission into gear. check under van to inspect linkage.
Low coolant? Radiator plugged or air flow restricted? Transmission cooler line crimped , plugged or disconnected?
