I would check power coming off of the switch; you will have to pull the switch out of the dash to check it and if there is power there, you will need to check the wire back to find the short.
I just paid 1800.00 for a rebuilt tranny for my 2000 windstar. I paid $1600 for a complete overhaul after my 2001 Windstar stopped moving (except downhill and a push).
If you are not sure, you should probably get checked out by a doctor. You should get checked out anyway if you are at that age. It's never too soon to start taking care of yourself.
If the converter is stopped up your engine will not run. cars that have a converter stopping up will have a different burning type smell. When you get your emissions checked, one of the items that is checked is the converter.
Start with the vehicle speed sensor the feeds the speedometer and odometer.Also look at the Brake/Speedometer problem associated with the Windstar recall for a leaking brake pressure switch

A blocked heater hose could cause a leak. A stopped up heater core could as well. Or the connector in the Windstar could be cracked.
Customer had a similar problem with a 99 Windstar. Stopped pulling while driving it. Had it towed to me and I replaced the torque convertor. Problem fixed.
if you car shakes when its fully stopped it may be the harmonic balancer, take it to a garage. is it shakes only when you are braking while stopping than have you brakes checked
