Re: Windstar 2000 (3.8L) will not go in reverse
Closure at last! ....On my 2000 Windstar (with just 75,000 miles, 3.8L, A4S Trany) the fix was to replace the reverse clutch! Fortuneately, I found a very honest tranny shop owner who removed the tranny, split the case, fixed the clutch, and reinstalled it for $950. (Of course he's not going to guarantee the tranny will keep functioning properly for 1-year, but that's okay with me. I'll take my chances.)
Note: My tranny guy was right! However, I probably saved money presenting the TSB and appealing to his good senses; i.e., I only drive 8,000 miles per year so I don't need a $2,500 tranny rebuild -- that will last 100,000 miles -- when the car is only worth $2000! ...And that's after he fixes the worn-out reverse clutch! (Good luck to all of you.)
