Windstar transmission 2000 windstar forward gears went out with a small thump reverse is fine. put it in drive you can feel the band trying to grab and it moves very little put in second you can also feel the disc trying and it moves a little better. it has about the power if one person was pushing the van. so i am sure nothing is striped it is just not getting enough presure to opperate the clutchs. some little plasic seal or something is blown where is it?

SOURCE: Transmission or Clutch problem?

Mike,
Just saw your issue. If you still have the problem, see if it resembles this situation. My 94 YJ 4.0 first had a hard time getting into 2nd. (...then reverse, then it would pop out of 2nd just going down the road) Changed fluids saw minimal crud. Was thinking a tranny swap was the only way to go. I contacted many places for ideas or solutions then I came across the this company in Tx that sells rebuilt trannys for about $1k. Now he was FAR LESS than all the other quotes for apple-to-apple, however this guy suggessted I check a couple more parts before I buought one of their transmissions. So I did and he was right. Here is what he had me do. Go buy the local shop manual if you don't already have it. You can find one at any Autozone, Advanced, O'reillys etc.(whatever is in your area) I had Chilton's. It worked fine. Remove the metal Inspection plates from around the gearshifts in the floor pan. Follow the main shifter down to the top of the Tranny. You'll see some bolts holding what appears to be a cap on. I think I remember there being 4. I removed the cap. You will find at the base of the shifter a steel knob or ball attached to the shifter. It is suppossed to have a plastic cap assembly snapped on the ball which you will see mates into a socket assembly on the top of the tranny. In simplest terms this is more or less the linkage point between the physical shifter to the transmission. On my jeep the cap and the female socket had just fallen apart. (...they're hard plastic - got hot, brittle and fell apart, go figure) The bad debris goes right down through the tranny and definitly was some of the crud in my fluid. I bought the parts local to me at Turner 4WD, Canton Ga www.thejeep.com. (and for those wondering... NO I'm not soliciting for them, they just tend to have parts some times that other companies don't have) I think I spent less than $15 on the 2 parts and the book is about $20. Total time for teardown was about 30~45 min and reassembly about 15~20. The only tricky part was getting the double dust boot off since I had never done it before. Remove the gear shift knobs, their locking nuts, and both rows of retaining screws. Slide the first dust boot off the gear shifts (soft rubber with metal ring). Then you'll see the next dust boot is almost vaccum sealed to the gear shifts at the knuckles. We found it was best to get that dust boot and inspection plate to slide up the shift levers and off leaving the levers intact. (others may have a different opinion, but I can tell you from other clutch and tranny work afterwards, it's so much easier to access the top 2 transmission bolts through this inspection plate rather than the ol' reach around from underneath) On that second dust boot (looked vaccumed sealed) we slightly split it on the bottom edge for easy removal. There are no issues from dust, water, or exhaust because it is a double boot. Hope this helps you. 5yrs on this solution now. Take care- Ken [email protected]

SOURCE: 2002 Windstar wont go into gear

These are common for the pump shaft splines stripping in the torque converter. The transmission will need to be removed to fix it. Before you condemn the trans, does the speedo move and the van doesn't or do you hear any grinding when you put it back into park? Or can you push the van in park (Broken CV shafts)?

SOURCE: 2000 S10 Blazer Transmission

Check the transmission fluid and see it's condition. Make sure it's at the proper level, the whining noise sounds like the transmission has low line pressure which would be a bad transmission pump. The "klunk" was the line pressure being high and low right now could ba a faulty transmission pressure line servo. Newer automatic transmission designs often use many pressure control solenoids, and sometimes allow the shift solenoids themselves to provide precise pressure control during shifts by romping the solenoid on and off. The shift pressure affects the shift quality (too high a pressure will result in rough shifting; too low a pressure will cause the clutches to overheat) and shift speed. Check the fuse box at the end of the dash on the driver's side and look for the transmission fuse and make sure it's not bad. You can also try resetting the ECM by placing the ignition to the run position and pulling the ECM (BATT) fuse out for 30 seconds and placing it back in and starting the jimmy. It may stall but let it and don't touch anything. Just restart the engine and everything should be like the way it came off the assembly line and hope the transmission come back to life till you can get it to a transmission shop for a proper scan. Good luck and hope this helps. keep me posted, be glad to help.

Why would a vehicle in reverse move forward

The question is a little vague but I think I know what your referring to. All modern automatic transmissions have torque converters. This is the device that connects the engine to the transmission. All vehicle manufacturers like the trans to be nice and smooth shifting. That's great but it does come with some minor drawbacks. If you are facing slightly down hill and you put your car in reverse but do not step on the gas slightly I can guarantee that you will indeed roll forward. You can eliminate that issue by holding your left foot on the brake while you shift into reverse. Then, as soon as you feel the trans engage, gently depress the gas pedal with your right foot and it will eliminate that forward roll problem.

My Ford Windstar 1999 doesn't drive forward or

Has the transmission ever had any services done? Its possible it has just gone out. There are clutches and bands inside and without proper service they will go out.

Transmission made a loud pop then quit moving in drive. Truck still moves in reverse

An automatic transmission consists of a series of bands (gears) which is each gear within the transmission. You state that truck will move in reverse, but not in drive. The loud pop you heard was the forward gear band breaking. From this point you have two options...either have the transmission rebuilt or replaced.

NO REVERSE FORWARD GEARS WORK. IS THERE A BAND AJUSTMENT FOR REVERSE ?IF I PUSH IT OFF IT WORKS BUT SLIPS

I have a 2000 Honda Accord EX, it shifts normal on forward with no problem. Also when the car is cold the reverse gear works just fine, but when the car runs for about few minutes the reverse gear will not work. It will seem as if it wants to go but then if feels like its neutral.
