I need to replace the transmission on my 1996 Ford Winstar minivan. The car is front wheel drive. Can i please have instructions on how to do so? Ive been told it is the same transmission as a Ford Taurus

You have an internal transmission problem . you need to scan the PCM to pull the code and pinpoint what is causing the transmission to set the light.

Please tell me where is the purge valve where is it located how do I find it in a 1996 aerostar minivan four wheel drive with a 4.0

Go to a junk yard and obtain a 1966 Ford Ranger transmission. Remove the old unit and do an exchange.

There may be more to it.. Transmission- P.T.O(Front wheels)-Rear Differential(Rear wheels). Or may have Transmission-Transfercase drives front differential(Front wheels) and rear differential(Rear wheels).
