Description of the problem | Transmission hesitates from 1st to 2nd gear, then all of a sudden it will slam into gear. Now i hear the transmission whining in park or neutral. It started doing it all of a sudden. I have noticed alot of complaints with these transmissions and the ones in the ford taurus. I have never heard of a transmission going bad at only 74,000 miles, when it is drivin safely and responsibly. I have made sure the oil was always full, and i even changed the oil and the filter in the transmission. It did not help! |
