1994 Ford taurus won't shift into drive. I have changed the solinoids, shift cables, had the tranny rebuilt and checked the transmission fluid. Still does not want to move. What am I missing?

If you are talking about gearshift moving from Park to Drive there is a safety lockout under the dash on the brake pedal lever,

But to go into any gear the Torque converter must make pressure for the transmission to use. In short, you could have solenoids correctly working but have no pressure flow inside the trans. Most transmissions have an external plug or line which a gauge can be inserted to read the pressure.

Or perhaps a tooth or more is worn in the differential and parts are turning but not engaging.

SOURCE: My 2002 Taurus wont go into gear

I have almost 30 years rebuilding transmission, use to own an AAMCO, the number one trans of all time that I have rebuilt have been the taurus. It is not your shift solenoid, it would still move and have reverse (reverse does not use a solenoid. The shifter cable could be a problem but I doubt it. It would be very loose if it was broken.

Check your fluid level running and not running, If it si the same level, your pump failed. In any event you probably are looking at a Major repair.

SOURCE: 05 Ford Explorer Transmission

on the bottom of the transmission pan you will find a nut with a hex or torx in the middle you remove the center plug when the truck is hot and running on a level serface the trans fluod will dribble out if it does not dribble out it is low if it runs out fast a steedy streem it is over full now their is a part that screws into this for a fill if you remove the pan you will see how it works the pan has a pipe/ stack that when full of fluid the top of the pipe is at the full point if you remove the large nut the stack and plug will come out the best way to change the trans fluid is take it to some place that has a fluid exchange equment this will get all the fluid out including the torque converter

SOURCE: automatic transmission will only shift manually

This is a sensor issue. It can be from a couple of different sensors. The VSS, or vehicle speed sensor is the main one. Loose or faulty wiring can cause it, a faulty PCM can cause it, or the Throttle Position Sensor can cause it.

My transmission stop pulling when driving down road it is a 2004xl enovy 4.2 it sounds like it is in neutral

Change the fluid and filter first. If that has no change for the better, then the tranny may need to be rebuilt.

Where is the 1994 ford taurus shift solenoid located ?

Usually the forward drum inside the transmission has broken, so you only have first gear. You will need to either replace it, or have your transmission rebuilt

The transmission in my for ranger shutters when it shifts

have a friend check the tranny fluid with the truck running and in drive, with your foot on the brake, rev the engin to 1000rpm this is the only way to get a proper reading on the dip stick, if the fluid is not bright pink and smells bernt then u may have to have the tranny rebuilt, but if the fluid level and fluid are fine it could be as simple as a sensior or shifting silinoid

I have a 1994 cadillac deville just had power steering line replace and now my car will not change gear for me what do i need to to or replace now

shift solinoids. but first check the transmission fluid. also this has the 4.9l right? auto zone sells shift solinoids for $30 each . if it is 4.9l it has the 4t60e transmission. i think thees shift solinoids are in the side transmission cover. when u replace the solinoids use a multimeter to check the wiring harness. disconnect the wiring harness located on top of tranny. unplugg shift solnoids and conncet multimeter to connector terminals put meeter on continuity it should not beep . if it does internal wiring harness is bad.( BEFOR DOING ABOVE : CHECK PCM CODES. ON INSTRAMENT CLUSTER HOLD WARMER BUTON AND OFF BUTTON DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS AT THE SAME TIME A SERISE OF CODES SHOULD DISPLAY WRIGHT THEM DOWN AND EMAIL ME AT [email protected]. FOR FURTHER ASISTANCE.

the transmission is loseing internal fluid pressure, its time for a rebuilt transmission. The A4ld that your explorer has is prone to trouble in this area. A good rebuilt transmission may cost at least $1700 dollars.
