Your reverse sun gear weld to the drum has more than likely broken. This was a common failure on AX4S transaxles of around the 1999 to 2000 model years of Windstars and Tauruses. The symptom you describe is what typically happens when this specific failure occurs. Look for a round grey coloured electrical connector situated on the TOP side of the transaxle, near the air filter housing. If you disconnect it, you MIGHT be able to drive it to the nearest repair shop. What this will do is put it into FMEM mode. To repair this problem will require transaxle removal and disassembly, and depending on the extent of damaged parts found, maybe even replacement with a rebuilt unit. Hope this helps.

hi Devin, i could propose against finding out in this automobile. they're infamous for their undesirable transmissions. The V-6, 3.0l autos seem to hold up properly, even with the undeniable fact that, commonly outliving their transmissions. The extreme call for for those transmissions has made the fee of rebuld/substitute upwards of $2500 right here on the West Coast. i in my opinion had to postpone an formerly sort by ability of donation to charity. seem for a Toyota, Nissan, Honda or Saturn in case you prefer a greater reliable, bigger mileage automobile.

97-99 taurus were bad for weak trannys( 3.0 v6) I will take a guess to say you need a new one if you get a used one make sure you get a warranty .

Could be the forward piston has a crack. You will have to have it overhauled.
