Apologies for soiling the MB list with Ford drivel, but just wanted to see if anyone has run across this problem: 94 Taurus w/ AXOD auto transmission, shifts into all gears with a solid clunk, but if car is stopped, need to race engine hard to make tranny engage, both forward or reverse. Once moving, car drives and shifts fine. Changed fluid and filter, no difference. Happened all at once according to daughter. I'm thinking it's toast. Any ideas before I buy a new tranny?
Stick a fork in it, it's done. I had a '93 w/ 3.8L V6 many years ago that did the same thing - torque converter was out of alignment, and the planetary gearset eventually grenaded.
