I have a 2001 windstar lx 3.8L,my daughter was driving it for about a year,no problems but alternator ,some time ago, that still works. New problem, she was out of town at a farm, tranny would not drive they had to add trans fluid,not sure what they put in or how much it got her back to town .I got an additive to make any trans oil slippery as mercon v. problem still is when it is first started or within five min. trans works fine no slipping no banging nothing lots of power, then when it warms up it will not move in any gear or reverse.I shut it off a couple min. and all is fine for a while again.Oil does not look or smell burnt and I see no metal in it,I should maybe drain some out ,as it is a bit high tho.If trans is shot what size of metric threaded rod/and how long is needed to lower subframe to floor,I think 12 ounce has an answer on that please as I'm thinking of doing the job myself.I,m mechanically inclined but frustrated,lol. thank you for any help i can get.
