Re: 99 Windstar trans Prob ??

If you have had absolutely no prior warnings, no tranmission code messages, etc ... then there may have been only a sudden failure of ONE solenoid. I wouldn't know which. All those solenoids you listed are fairly accessible ... some under the end cover.

If you end up buying all the solenoids ... will cost about $200 ... I just did it last year with no luck. Ending up swapping out the tranny with a Ford rebuilt.

If you had a friend with a working tranny ... you could swap solenoids one-at-a-time. It may instead also be a harness issue. The valve body is pretty pricey ... it is also under that end cover. Removable while tranny is in the car, but its no push-over. I would not suspect the valve body other than the solenoids. The torque converter clutch went out on my tranny, new solenoids were not going to help... I had earlier indications
