What other transmission is recommended for a Taurus 1991 V6 3.0?
1991 had its own pecular transmission. I know this because I personally tried to find one. The electronic controls are different for that year from any other. It has to be one for a 1991.
What does it mean when a 98 Ford Taurus service engine soon light comes on?
As your vehicle runs/drives along the computer (ecm) is doing component tests constantly. If the computer notices a component out of range it will turn the light on to alert you to the problem.

Why would a 2006 Ford Taurus blower motor work only intermittently?
After serious trial and error looking for the same problem, it appears there is a design flaw. Water flows under the bottom of the windshield, and is supposed to be routed off to the side. Instead, even with just a little bit of rain, it overflows and drips water onto the blower motor and resister. I've replaced the resister 5 or 6 times now, and have finally made a small piece of rubber to prevent the water from getting on the motor and resister. So far so good...
How do you know if the transmission range sensor in 96 Ford Taurus is bad?
I just ran into this problem. The range sensor is what is responsible for only allowing your car to start when in park or neutral. also, it is responsible for killing all power to accessories while starting your car.
If any of the following symptoms persist, replace the range sensor:
1. Power stearing will become stiff in reverse or drive
2. radio mutes while in reverse or drive
3. power windows or locks do not operate while in reverse or drive
4. windshield wipers dont work while in reverse or drive
5. blower moter does not work while in reverse or drive
6. clicking sound under the dash while in reverse or drive
The result of any or all of these problems are contributed to a renge sensor that has become internally shorted. there is a temperary work arround for this problem but you will still need to replace the sensor to correct the problem.
Temperary fix:
under the dash in the fuse pannel, pull the radio mute fuse located to the right and second to the bottom. This is only a temporary fix and the sensor will still need to be replaced. I do not know what could happen if the shorted range sensor is not replaced, it could cause all sorts of electrical problems, who knows.
Replace Ford Taurus dash lights?
This is a tricky job. I have no idea why Ford buried the console access under so much junk, but there you are.
First, remove the upper and lower steering column shrouds.
Then you must remove the radio. (I know, sounds crazy, right?) If you're unaware of the procedure for this, find some long nails that roughly match the diameter of the four holes and insert them. Inserting the nails releases some clamps, allowing the thing to come loose.
Once the radio is out and disconnected, undo the four bolts holding the surrounding plastic (black, runs to steering column).
Now you should be able to unbolt and remove the duct covers surrounding the dash.
Remove and unbolt the dash meter unit. You'll have to disconnect the cable that links the gearshift to the gear display (It's just a loop that unhooks). The whole thing will pull out enough for you to unplug the electrical leads and separate the whole thing.
From there, it's just a matter of replacing burned out bulbs.
Don't forget to recalibrate the gearshift cable upon reconnection!
QUICK FIX If the dash lights are out and you see two green arrows: A solid slap with the palm of your hand on the left side of the hump forward of the steering wheel works every time.
Will 22 inch rims fit on a 2005 Ford Taurus?

Where is transmission fluid dipstick located on a 2007 Ford Taurus?
Near the firewall , between the engine and transmission ( transaxle )
Why wont my 1997 Ford Taurus wont go in reverse or start in drive?
For the Reverse problem, you could have low transmission fluid, or a bad transmission.
For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.
