I have been hearing about the trans planetary failing on 96-02 taurus/sables. My personal 98 sable 3.0 expired that way.

My 92 Ford Taurus has had shifting probs for about 5yrs, but recently it wouldn't catch any gear to move forward, and severely "bucked" in reverse. Mechanic says it might be speed sensor,...

Some speed sensors will help the transmission know when to switch gears, but with some of the things you describe, sounds like after driving it that long, damage to the transmission has occured. Also, it could be a bad torque converter. There is also something called the transmission torque converter clutch solenoid, causes the car to buck and cut off. Hope this helps, any questions just contact me.

The car will start but will not shift into gear

First check transmission fluid level. If fluid level is low than that would be the cause. Nearly any automatic transmission that will pull without slipping, when fluid is low. If it is too low it will not pull at all. If it has absolutely no gears in all ranges forward, and reverse, than this is most likely the cause.

1999 Ford Taurus will not shift out of 1st - I do have reverse

Unplug your speed sensor. (located on top on transmission on left hand side can be reached from right side) If the problem is the same replace the sensor this should fix your problem.

1999 ford taurus automatic wont go into any gear -engine is fine

Just a couple of things to check if you haven't compare the smell and apearance of the tranmission oil to so new, if it looks dark and smell burned you probably have a bad transmision, clutches or burned up. Does it whine or make any noise? a stopped up filter will do this. also is it full when warm on the dip tick runniing in park?
