2002 ford winstar bucks when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Transmission mechanic that just rebuilt trans says it is not in trans. Cam sensor code comes up but cam sensor is new.
Not the mounts. By buck I mean it jerks slamming into gear- causing vehicle to move hard- as if hit from behind. The first time I experienced it, I was caught off guard and hurt my back.

3000 rpm's isnt horrible since your torque converter doesn't engage until 1100 rpm's or so. A possible adjustment might help your shifting problem. so you might want to visit your mechanic
a rebuilt trans is never going to be like new. it's going to be different since some parts are used parts with 120K. this is if you mean the vehicle has 120k on it, not the rebuilt trans. If the rebuilt trans has 120k on it, the story has just changed and its not a nice ending.
Is your code reader capable of reading U, C, and B codes? The speedometer doesn't get it's speed reading from the wheel sensors. It gets it from the transmission. Not shifting past 2nd gear means your transmission is in "limp in" mode. It prevents shifting to avoid further damage. I see a transmission repair shop in your future.
With a scantool in datastream you can see if your input and out put speed sensors are working if so sounds like a shift solinoid is not working that to is visable in fatasteam on a roadtest
No 3rd or 4th gear: “3-4” clutches are worn out. R&R. The car is safe to drive (in 2) until you can get it fixed.
Trans shifts into gear harshly, car feels sluggish off the line, No
1st, 4th or TCC lockup available, Manual 2nd, 3rd and Reverse are only
available gears, CEL is on: Transmission is either in limp-home mode or
has lost electrical power. If there are lots of error codes in the PCM,
check the under hood fuse that powers the transmission, and if it pops
again, look for a short in that circuit like an O2 sensor harness
touching exhaust. Otherwise, check PCM codes for a particular fault in
the transmission causing the PCM to put it in limp-home mode.
No 1st or 4th available; trans shifts 2nd to 3rd by itself in D or OD
and locks the converter : Shift A solenoid failed. Easy fix in the pan.
Or a wiring problem from PCM to trans.. or PCM.
Check to see if your transmission is in the limp mode, which would only give you 2nd, 3rd and reverse gears. No 1st or 4th gear.
As your Auto transmission is fully electronic, it could be anything from faulty sensors sending incorrect signals to the trans computer, or faulty internal components. Your best bet is to have the trans computer scanned for 'fault codes' (as the computer monitors and retains all faults) by your local Ford dealership.
This process will identify the likely component/s which are causing this problem.
My guess is, there may be a problem with the 2nd clutch (yes that's right, automatics have internal clutches!), input and/or output shaft switches sending incorrect signals to the computer.
But, there could be so many other possibilities....so, I recommend you get the codes scanned and go from there.....
Ford is very common for tranny problems. Most likely your tranny will have to be rebuilt. As a mechanic myself, I would suggest taking to tranny specialist to see if i needs to be rebuilt, or if the electrical unit is faulty. It will have to be tested with voltmeter/ohmmeter/multi-tester
the mechanic should check the shifting gear and the shifting lever or the shift level and also the gear sleeve. Gear sleeve is the one that make the gear function. And lastly don't forget the transmission sensor because sometimes the problem can be found in the sensor .Then try to check the 1st. gear, 2nd gear,3rd gear,N ,R.of the trans mission to be sure .
I had the same problem in my 96 f-350. The transmission has slipped recording a slip code in the transmission. You can pull the codes and get it. I shifts into a safe mode that increases the pressure inside your transmission as part od a fail safe. Plain and simple, you have to have the tranny rebuilt.
Not the mounts.
