Must of ford, mercury, lincolns have this problem, you may see the transmission fluid good and the color of it red that means it hasn't burned clutches the problem with this transmission is that they break a lot of there pumps, I just replaced one recently and it came out in little pieces the good news is you don`t have to bring down the tranny it can be replaced through the side of the tranny......
thank you so much i will try that. the shop my tranny is at hasnt diagnosed it yet and its been 2 weeks i have school soon and they basically want thousands
which pump was it?
transmission pump it goes through the side of the tranny
Ok thank you so much i will try that

The gears have went out and it's need for a new transmission.
Which transmission does it have ? Automatic Transaxle - 6 Speed or the CVT continuously variable transaxle (CVT) that permits the engine to operate at its most efficient running speeds. There are no discrete gear shifts and no interruptions in the power flow during acceleration. Instead, optimum use is always made of the engine's potential to transmit its full torque to the wheels. Since this is a continuously variable transaxle, there is an infinite number of gear ratios, so that the optimum engine operating point can always be found. Like the engine, it is located transversely in the vehicle. The mechanical section of the automatic transaxle contains 2 pressure controlled variator assemblies, a high performance chain and a single planetary gear set. The variator assemblies function as pulleys. One is connected to the engine output through the converter. The other is connected to the driveline through the transaxle differential. The chain passes around the pulleys connecting the transaxle input and output. The axial distance on each pulley where the chain travels can be varied. As the axial distance on one pulley decreases (becomes narrow) the other pulley increases (becomes wider) creating the speed (gear) ratio between them. This ratio varies continuously. The chain length remains constant. The single planetary gear set is used to change the rotation of the pulley assemblies for forward or reverse driving ranges. A combined hydraulic and electronic control system (mechatronic) is used to control the transaxle function. The mechatronic is located inside the transaxle. The CVT uses a torque converter with a lock-up clutch.
Is the check engine light lit ? or any other warning lights on the dash .
Diagnostic Strategy
Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified by using the proven method of diagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure to follow.
NOTE: Do not take short cuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made.
Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps.
To correctly diagnose a concern, have the following publications available:
Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual
OASIS Messages
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
Wiring Diagram
These publications provide the information required when diagnosing transaxle concerns.
Use the Diagnostic Flow Chart as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.
Preliminary Inspection
Know and understand the customers concern.
Verify the concern by operating the vehicle.
Check the fluid levels and condition.
Check for non-factory add-on items.
Check shift linkages for correct adjustment.
Check TSBs and OASIS messages regarding the concern.
Diagnostics
Carry out on-board diagnostic procedures Key On/Engine Off (KOEO) and Key On/Engine Running (KOER).
Record all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Repair all non-transaxle DTC codes first.
Repair all transaxle DTC codes second.
Erase all continuous codes and attempt to repeat them.
Repair all continuous codes.
If only pass codes are obtained, go to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section for additional information and diagnosis.
Follow the diagnostic sequence to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.

I have a 2005 Ford 500 here lately it being saying failsafe mode. We put in a new throttled body. It's started again, plus having a hard time starting it. Now we put in new started, it will start but won't move at all. What could it mean?
