Trans Axle/Transmission Slippage?

[mp0128]

hello have a 2002 taurus ses with about 34000 miles on it. 2 months ago got a transmission fluid flush around 30000 miles i follow the maintenance book. just got an oil change today and in the past week and a half when the speedometer get to 45 miles per hour theres a lot of vibration, hesitation to accelerate and the tachometer flies up to 3000 then back down to 2000. at the mechanics today they told me a half shaft is broke, or leaking. and that the transmission fluid smelt very bad, burnt. they drove it and felt transmission slippage also. whats a transaxle? how does that go hand in hand with the transmission? which company would be responsible for any damage to my car? place i got the transmission flush 2 months ago?

its probably the vehicle speed sensor, your mechanics are trying to take advantage of you. Go somewhere else and have them replace the vehicle speed sensor.

no take it somehwere else for a second opinion. it sounds like someone put the wrong fluid in your trans. it requires mercon V fluid. ask the guys who did it what fluid they put in. if they dont say mercon V i would give em hell until they put the right fluid in there.
