Title: HELP!!! Non soda machine related Post by: VMAXMAN on May 30, 2013, 02:04:49 pm I need help desperately!
I have a 98 mercury mountaineer and just the other day the tranny wouldn't shift over more than 1 time. (automatic AWD) It shifts fine and strong the 1st time and then wont shift anymore. Is it a solenoid issue or what? The tranny reacts strong otherwise. I'd hate to run it 5,000 RPM to work Title: Re: HELP!!!

It WAS THE shifting solenoid Pack . $225 Factory installed So Title: Re: HELP!!!

Don't drive it until fixed. I could not agree more about that. Transmissions are very expensive as I found out and it is not a fun experience to have your transmission fail as things like that will usually fail at the worst possible time and make it a memorable experience Title: Re: HELP!!!
