To determine if a motor is seized or if the issue lies with the transmission, first check if the engine turns over manually by attempting to rotate the crankshaft with a wrench. If the engine cannot be turned and there are no unusual noises, it may be seized. If the engine turns but the vehicle doesn't move when in gear, the problem is likely with the transmission. Additionally, listening for grinding or slipping noises can help pinpoint the issue further.
Transmission fluid is just oil and will not unfreeze a seized engine.
The 1997 Ford Taurus has for motor mounts and to transmission mounts. Worn motor mounts and transmission mounts will allow the engine and transmission to have movement.
The Biggest indication that your motor is seized is normally when it does not turn over at all. You would hear the starter kick in trying to turn the flywheel (major gear in the engine) but it will not turn the pistons. There is ways of unseizing it but as any mechanic will tell you, its easier to get a new motor then spending all that time and labor. As well becarful to much over cranked a dead motor will only result in a dead battery very quickly.
Oh, dude, using transmission fluid to unfreeze a seized-up car motor because you lost motor oil is like using a band-aid for a broken leg. Sure, it might technically lubricate things a bit, but it's not gonna magically fix the real issue. You're gonna need a mechanic, not a DIY hack, to sort out that mess.

If the engine has seized, then it's pretty much done for. Transmission fluid, or engine oil, will do nothing to solve that. Transmission fluid goes in the transmission - which if that is seized, again - you're in trouble. The only way to get around replacement is to disassemble the seized component (engine, tranny, whatever) and replace the seized components and anything else that was damaged as a result of the seizing. sorry.
Either the motor has a short, or is seized, for some reason.
It will not turn over on the starter motor.
If a pool motor is seized, it means that the motor's internal components, such as the rotor or bearings, are stuck and unable to turn. This can result from factors like lack of lubrication, overheating, or corrosion. A seized motor typically requires repair or replacement, as it can no longer function properly to circulate water in the pool. Regular maintenance can help prevent this issue from occurring.
The tuck will run forever.
It will not turn over.
Seized should mean that it's not turning. Crank the engine and see if the alternator pulley spins or not.
