Windstar SEL 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

Bought my 2003 Windstar in 2007 and soon discovered that the trans shutters when I first put it in reverse and accelerate immediately. I've learned to put it into reverse gear and give it a moment before backing up. 3 years later and it hasn't gotten worse, although I am very careful about "slowing my process down". Recently was told by my mechanic (Ford Dlr) that the trans fluid smells burnt and I have shaving in the oil. Looks like it's gonna cost some big $$.
