WAGON STILL GOES,BUT CHANGING TO REVERSE GOES WITH COMPLAINING NOISES. WHEN IN DRIVE AFTER A SMALL PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL IT CUTS OUT,FREERIDES ABOUT 10M AND THEN COMES ON,AND THAT AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS,ALSO THE RMPS NEVER GO OVER 2000,HOWEVER WHEN PARKED IT GOES UP.NOW i HAVE THE TRANSMISSION OUT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE EXCEPT THE OIL IS REALLY DIRTY.
You're describing the symptoms of a worn out transmission

iac valve is sticking remove valve and clean the shaft so it moves freely. This is a very easy fix.
SOURCE: engine oil pressure light goes on and off
changing the oil may fix the problem at least check the level is correct.
SOURCE: no reverse, forward gears work fine whats the fix?
HI. the most important issue here is to make sure the transmission fluid is at a optimal level. If the fluid level is good, it can be another problem that is causing this disruption. The second place i would check would be the transmission shift cable and linkage. if you have some play in the shifter, this could be the issue. the linkage and cable may need to be adjusted. The last problem spot with this tranny could be bad or malfunctioning shift solenoids. these devices receive signals from the emc that initiates the shift action once you use the shifter. if one of these solenoids are malfunctioning, it can cause a disruption of normal shifting. i would check these areas.
please rate and god bless...

while it is possible to perform that swap, the newer 2000+ transmissions will have updated internals and such.
so will it work............. yes.
is it optimal.................no.
SOURCE: Whinning noise in steering & 'clunk' from transmission.
I believe the "gizmo" your referring to would be the pump. Ford power steering pumps will get noisy if they have been run dry at one time. Be sure the fluid level is full and you have no leaks. If no leaks and fluid is full, but noise persists then replacing the pump would be your next course. Some pumps are louder than others, so don't be surprised if the new pump may have a little whine as well.
Transmission clunk can be caused by loose mounts, drive line components (axles, cv joints) or internal transmission issue. Flushing the transmission will not cure a transmission clunk. I don't know of any additives that will cure a transmission clunk as well. Have the transmission check out before you invest money in additives and flushes. Hope this helps. Please leave feedback.
