Transmission for 1999 ford taurus

I have a 99 ford taurus and when I push on the gas it takes about 3 seconds for 1st gear to catch and go. After I am driving the tranny shifts great. I do here a slight clicking noise coming from unederneath my car. The transmission fluid is full red and not burnt. Any idea of what this could be?

SOURCE: Ford taurus 1995 will not move when started

i have a 2001 ford taurus and it did the same thing a while back, call the dealer and ask them for the sensor that is behind the brake pedal. It is not the transmission .. cost less that 25 bucks to fix and takes about 20 min

SOURCE: my 1997 ford taurus transmission slips when it shifts to second

this is caused by a piston in the transmission that has a crack in it once it warms up the crack seals and operates normally.being cold the crack opens up allowing fluid to flow past it. take to trans shop as soon as you can, will be minimum repair if it has not caused further damage in the transmission.

Trans not shifting to 2nd and 3rd gears. 99 Ford Taurus

I am having the same problem right now....seems there is a transmission control module which might be the cause. Mine is off and on, sometimes car shifts great, other times it stays in second and will shift to third.

1999 Ford Taurus Wagon stays in 1st gear

Most Ford Taurus wagons have a transmission that generally goes first. that's the main reason. Just something to do with the way they are built. The only advice that I could offer is either replace the tranny or just not run the a/c. Usually it's just the motor working twice as hard running the a/c and that in turn puts the computer into the phase of lower gears for the transmission. there in being the problem.
