96 sable netural at stop.... Sign In

I've got a 96 sable 3.0 24v DOHC with a AX4N trans. When the car sits overnight and is started and put in drive it goes in gear immeaditaly and takes off normally and upshifts normally. However at the first stop { less than 1/4 mile } it goes into a netural state. I move the lever from D to 2 and back and the car drives fine the rest of the day!! The Fluid level and condition is fine. A scanner shows NO codes!
Any Ideas?? This happens EVERY morning!!

You need to have a high end scan tool on it to monitor the solenoid operation while driving. This will let you know if it is an electrical problem or mechanical. Most of these I have seen is due to a mechanical problem and the transaxle needed rebuilt. Hopefully you can get lucky and it be a solenoid problem.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

What"s strange is it's only occuring on coastdown shifts cold and within a mile the trans is normal....these type {ax4s/ax4n} tran had alum pistons in drive clutch packs and were bad for cracking but ford changed to steel in 95.
