LeNeve Wrote:Interesting. There is a recall to replace the torque converters in freestars for a no movement concern. Same transmission that is in the taurus'. I bet if a person complained enough, they could get Ford to pay for a new torque converter.

Or they will release a recall for the taurus in a few months, as soon as the vans get fixed. Torqu converters aRE already on backorder until April.

werent those the trans where the pump shaft teeth would grind off?

just like in the windstar?

yes. I believe so.

yes. I believe so.

so, you probably don't need a converter, just the shaft ( :grin: )

Good morning everyone

One of the sales morons here said today "Don't sweat the petty stuff. Pet the sweaty stuff."

LeNeve Wrote:2004 ford taurus in my stall. Quit moving at a stop sign. It's the torque converter, transmission pump, or the pump shaft. They didn't want to fix it. Already bought something off the lot, and abandoned the taurus here.

I can get the taurus for 300 bucks. It's probaly the torque converter. 700 bucks. Come down on a weekend, and put the torque converter in, and I have a solid car for 1,000 dollars. Probaly get 2,000 or more out of it. Dealer would want 3-4k for it probaly.

I haven't decided to buy it yet though. It's really clean. inside and out.

That's a deal worth jumping on.

gross. what a weirdo.

but next time I hear someone say don't sweat the petty stuff, I'm going to ask them if they prefer petting the sweaty stuff .
