If this only happens when on an incline then it is normal. Apparently the 35-45 mph area is where one of the shift points is. On an incline the car is gonna down shift to get better horse power to get up the hill. If it is going fast enough to reach the shift point though the car will sometimes go back and forth in gear shifts. Try to maintain a speed that will keep this from happening as much. If this vehicle has an overdrive selector on it then turn it off. This will keep it from going to over drive on hills and will result in better power to go up inclines. I hope I explained this ok. Good luck. tranny is shifting because it is choosing correct gear to operate try giving it a little more gas or a little less and it will stay in the appropriate gear
Rear end of the engine - front end of the transmission
It will be most easily accessed from underneath the car. It is bolted to the transmission case where the engine is attached.
Juste below the brake master cylinder. The Stick is black.
MIGHT NEED A NEW SPEED SENSOR I posted the original question. I paid to have the symptoms diagnosed. It was actually a worn plastic gear set on the end of the speed sensor / speedometer cable and the mating gear in the transmission. The one inside the transmission requires tear-down of entire transmission... bad news.
The TCC Solenoid is located on the valve body. In order to reach the unit you have to remove the Battery and Battery housing, Air Filter housing & Assembly, And the wiring harness brackets. You then have to support the rear of the engine and remove the Crossmember located behind the drivers side front wheel. There are 5 bolts and 1 mounting bolt. The TCC is secured by 2 bolts directly to the valve body. It is hard but this can be changed with the transaxle still in the vehicle.
The size of a transmission pan in a Ford Taurus is usually 5/16x18. However, this may vary if you've had the pan replaced in the past.
Near the firewall , between the engine and transmission ( transaxle )
its located just above the transmission pan usually on the back side of transmission
There were very little changes made between the 1996 and 1999 model years.This makes the parts very interchangeable - including the transmission.
yes it will fit...thay are all the axod trannys and any Taurus transmission will fit in any Taurus there is.
A Taurus auto that will not shift from the column shifter is usually due to a transmission issue. Transmission's are an expensive fix. Shop around before committing to one mechanic.
It is between engine and firewall about a foot from centre on driver side
On a 2001 Ford Taurus : The automatic transmission fluid dipstick ( fill tube ) is between the engine air intake tube and the engine compartment firewall
inside the transmission.
where is the transmission speed sensor located on a 2005 ford taurus
The transmission fluid for the 2000-2004 Taurus is MERCON V.
Yes. They should both have the AX4S transmission.
