Can a transmission from a 1995 3.8l Windstar be put in a 2000 Windstar?

Maybe, 95 windstar has a different plug for transmission shift and the netrual safety switch ,But the plug for the trans can be changed,also you must have both in front of you to compare.95-97 ,98-01,your trans is an AX4N and uses syn fluild,,the car computer makes the trans shift.95 is an AX4S,I think it will work but as always you will have things to deal with.

How do you adjust a Windstar side - sliding electric door which wont latch - door closes but pops back open especially in cold weather - can the steel pull cable be tightened or loosened?

Helping automatic doors to stay closedThe first thing to try is to clean the contacts on the door pillar with a pencil eraser.

I broke down and brought it in to the dealer. He said there was a trip switch mounted at the rear latch mechanism that needed replacement ($40). I was able to replace it myself.

This is very common on all Windstars.

Try lubing the contacts, cleaning the track where the door wheel rolls on rocker panel, and make sure there are no obstructions anywhere in the doors path. it happens to mine about once a month and there is usually dirt in the path somewhere which trips a safety sensor

You might also try cleaning the set of contacts and the pins. This is easiest done with a pencil eraser - simply rub the eraser on each contact to remove the oxidization that naturally starts to build up.

The door works on a "cycle" and the electronic pad on the door pillar may have become dirty.

Open the door and close it, and open again manually. pushing it all the way open until it locks into place. then actuate it with the door close button on your overhead console. If it does not work, then take a clean rag and window cleaner and wipe the electronic pad on the door pillar to ensure there is a good signal being sent.

Try cleaning the brass looking contacts on the door and the ones on the door jam.

How do you find oxygen sensor rear for 2003 windstar?

All O2 sensors are located on the exhaust. Follow the exhaust headers off the engine. There are two. There will be an o2 sensor sticking out of the pipe that is bolted to the header. It will be screwed into the pipe with a wire connector connected to it. There is also one possibly after the Catalytic converter. It just depends on the emission package. I assume by the "rear" you mean the o2 sensor in the back of the engine. Try jacking up the vehicle or if you are thin you can lay underneath the vehicle to spot the one in the back. That is the only way to get to it without taking the whole cowl section off the top of the engine. Hope that help.

Your car wont accept the freon?

Make sure your setting inside is on "max" or "recirculate". If so, and the compressor doesn't kick on, then disconnect the low pressure cut-off switch usually located on or near the accumulator canister. Use a paper clip or jumper wire to jump across the two terminals on the connector. This should kick the compressor on and pull in the freon.

If your manual isn't handy, see "Related Questions" below for finding an online copy for quick and easy reference.

Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.
Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.
See My Bio For more information. Most vehicles have a sticker just under the hood toward the front of the vehicle that has information which says the vehicle is in compliance with your state as far as that year's environmental quality goes. This sticker also has helpful information about your engine...ie size, displacement and spark plug gap. Another idea would be to visit the library and look into the repair manuals there or buy your own.

Trailblazer has a terrible valve noise in starting and it disappear when engine is hot although oil is new and changed by GM Italy?

This Atlas LL8 inline 6 is notorious for noise when started cold in the older versions. Some help is achieved by using Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic oil. Do not use a heavier weight oil as that will compound the problem and may lead to early engine failure. There are many of these engines with over 200,000 km still running fine at this point in time. www.trailvoy.com is a forum dedicated to these types of vehicles. You can get realtime answers by the other owners on line.

What causes the speedometer on a 1998 Ford Wind-star to stop working when the transmission warms up?

We have a 98 and it seemed that sometimes it wouldn't shift right, and the speedometer would all of a sudden stop.I would drop it down to second gear and it would stop, and straighten out. Quiestion to you: Do you have a check engine light on? If so, take it to your nearest Auto Zone, have them do test on it. 9 times out of ten it will proboly say it's the speed sensor. Try that.
