92 FORD T-BIRD 5.0L SPORT TRANSMISSION problem

hey look under neath where ur driver footpedals are. chances are that the rubber grommet on the end of ur cable came off or broke.. look up into the column area an look for the black cable goin to a pivot point on shifter arm. reconnect. but will prob need new cable cause if end is no good will fall of again. move shifter back an forth to help u locate area of cable

Two things happen on the Dodge's. 1. the rear O2 sensor shorts out and meses things up. 2. the Inner seal on the Direct drum (3rd) shrinks and causes a delayed up shift.

check for a clogged cooler in your radiator. back flush it. if you had a weak pump the problem would be exactly opposite of what you are describing; as a matter of fact, the majority of transmission complaints are related to a warm trans, not a cold one. I am interested in what you find out; keep in touch. btw, your throttle to trans cable is adjusted to zero lash at idle.

check the nuts on the wiper arms and make sure they are tight. If the nuts are tight then a linkage on the wiper transmission probably came loose or broke. You'll have to pull some cowling off to access it.

Your trans is about the same as a Lincoln LS
and newer Mustangs

A transmission is due for a rebuild, usually
before 150,000 miles. (I used to own a trans
repair shop)

I won't address most of your questions because
it is unreasonable to expect anything from a vehicle
manufacturer after the warrantee is up

The only thing you get, is when there is a Govt mandated
recall,then they have to do something.

Ford transmissions especially transaxles are only good for
70 to 100,000 miles
Your will go a long way if you change your fluid every
30,000 miles and add a bottle of red lubegard.
No one does that. It should be done on all vehicles
as well as power steering at the same 30,000 miles.

The most common problem is the solenoid pressure
pack. Most people can not detect a trans issue and continue
to drive it until internal issues develop. All makes and Models

You can not buy a new trans
They are only new on the assy line
You rebuild your and correct all the problems
your addressing or install a reman and hope they
were updated.

Don't expect ford to be on their game,the after
market will be though. Trans shops,parts venders,etc

you can check to see if the tv cable is hooked up the rubber grommet dry rots it hooks up to the throttle body. And ck down at the trans where the cable hooks up make sure it's not stuck if so lube and work the linkage back and forth.

You can swap just the transmission unless the shifter is on the column,then you will need the column as well,You don't need the engine if your is still good.

TRY CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND FLUID. THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY TAKING THE TRANS PAN OFF AND PULLING DOWN ON THE TRANS FILTER MAKING SURE THE RUBBER GROMMET ON THE OUTLET SIDE OF THE FILTER IS REPLACED AS WELL. THE KIT AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE SHOULD INCLUDE THE GROMMET, FILTER AND NEW GASKET FOR THE PAN. HOPE THIS HELPS. KEEP ME POSTED PLEASE. THANK YOU FOR AN HONEST RATING AND FOR USING FIX-YA. GOOD LUCK

I had the same problem. Started for me as not going into reverse. Here is what you do. Have someone work the shifter while you open the hood and look straight down into the engine bay. You will see a cable that attaches to the top of the transmission. Where it attaches to the transmission the cable is supposed to have a plastic grommet. In time this grommet cracks and falls apart. Therefore the cable no longer engages/disengages the gearbox. You must fashion a new grommet out of a piece of rubber or similar material, make a hole in the middle of it to fit over the shaft of the transmission lever, jam it into the opening at the end of the shifter cable, then use a small cotter key to secure the whole thing into place. Test the shifter, make sure the cotter key will hold, change the size if it will not stay on. Should work, I made this fix about 20,000 miles ago and its not come off since.
