| 2005 Ford Taurus 204,000 miles Auto transmission. Transmission shifts fine when it is cold or warm. When the Transmission gets fully heated up, or hot, It shifts from 1st to 2nd very violently.

One guy online says he installed a transmission fluid cooling system and it fixed the problem in his 2005 Ford Taurus. ...btw ..welcome to Tennessee.

| 1997 Ford Taurus SHO Automatic with 209000 miles. My Taurus has been making a low whining/whirring noise at low rpm that gets higher pitched at higher rpms after a long trip (70+ miles).

| 1993 Mercury Sable, considering checking it out | 17Relevance | 4 years ago | Paragus | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... was their parent's. They say they put new tires recently. No accidents. Technically 1 owner that passed it down to their daughter. I believe a common issue is head gaskets on these Ford Taurus and derivatives. I don't know if the replacement engine had that issue corrected or if preventative maintenance was done on it. Seller reports no rust on the vehicle. no underbody rust as well. I checked the values of this car and at this time a good value for a decent example would be around $750 for a car like this. Should I even check it out or is a car like thi ... | |||||
| Answer to: Garage won't do a transmission fluid change | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| In normal circumstances where the transmission has been maintained properly, a drain and fill is sufficient. Yes, some vehicles must be flushed. The '02 Taurus appears to have a serviceable pan, but you should double check with your dealership. It seems the automatic transmission is a weak spot on these vehicles: The good transmission fluid exchange machines have zero pumps in them. It's just a cylindrical fluid reservoir with a floating piston, and some hoses. The pressure of the transmission's internal pump while running is what pushes the fluid ... | |||||
| RE: Air conditioning 2003 Lexus GX470 | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Thumpy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| On average they’re not bad, part for the Taurus probably 50-75 bucks. About 100-125 for the Lexus. But you still have an issue of a leak it sounds like on both. You need someone to use dye, or a freon sniffer to find the leak. Sometimes its just a o ring seal. About a dollar. On your Taurus as many times as it’s been hit in the front it’s probably your condenser coil(radiator for ac, sits in front regular radiator) or the o-rings on it. They run 150-200 usually. Once the leak is fixed, new accumulator installed then it can have a vacuum pulled on it and cha ... | |||||
| Air conditioning 2003 Lexus GX470 | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Micheleotey | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Still trying with the inherrited GX 150K miles. The air conditioning doesn't work. A mechanic puts something into my 2001 Taurus (60K miles) that he says takes a very expensive machine. It works great for the summer. He charges me $90 for the 5 minute job. Saw another video and think maybe he's robbing me but at least I get air for about 40 cents a day. Now, the question - the Lexus does the same thing. Blows air but it's not cold. Heat works fine. Any chance there's something for the Lexus that's like my Ford's solution? I saw y ... | |||||
| PPV Vehicles | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Jacobdibs | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty I’ve been watching your channel for about 3yrs. I recently bought a 2013 Taurus Interceptor with the 3.7 non-turbo engine. I bought it for $4k with 202k miles straight from the municipality, is there anything I should look out for on these? also in general, are buying PPV (police pursuit vehicles) from municipalities a good ideas? I’ve seen a lot of crown vics, Taurus interceptors and even the Chevy Caprice PPVs (option with 3.6L V6 or 6.0 Aussie V8) for under $7k? I’ve heard it’s a good idea overall since they’re taken care of well with taxpaye ... | |||||

| Answer to: 2009 Ford Taurus Transmission Issue | 17Relevance | 2 years ago | BobTheHatKing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| hey there, did you ever fix the problem? I have an 09 Taurus with the same 6F50 transmission and I noticed it did that too, but only on hard acceleration. Drives fine otherwise. Got the car about a year ago. Clean fluid, looks like it’s been changed. No codes as well. Unrelated I did break the casing on that transmission and I was thinking of welding it back together or changing just the casing if I can but if I have to do a valve body job too maybe I should just get a new rebuilt or used transmission. | |||||
| 1999 Ford Taurus has to sit for 1 hour before it can be restarted again. | 17Relevance | 2 years ago | Bear-Cat | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 1999 Ford Taurus that I've never had any problems with. In the last couple of months, it will start right up in the morning but if you turn it off you have to wait 1 hour (approx) before it will start again, if you turn it off again you have to go through the same process. it acts like it isn't getting gas or it's flooded. I changed the fuel filter and that worked for about a week. I'm getting ready to drop the tank and change the fuel pump. I was wondering if you've ever seen this before. the mechanic at the dealership looked at me like I was nuts. ... | |||||
| ATF replacement question | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Clovishound | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2000 Ford Taurus with the DOHC 3.0 liter engine and 160K miles. I bought it two years ago and dithered for a while about changing the ATF. The fluid was not terribly dirty or dark black, but did not have the fresh red color of ATF, just a little bit of red. The transmission runs OK, but occasionally shifts a little hard, particularly from 3rd to 4th under light acceleration. I finally decided to pump a couple quarts out of the dipstick tube and replace with fresh fluid, along with a bottle of Lucas, and see how it went. I did that and the transmissi ... | |||||
