Yesterday I was at a stop sign and went to turn my van decided it didn't want to go. Everything works in it, the air, windows, seats, it starts, and goes into gears just fine. It just won't budge, I had to get it towed home. I checked all the fluids and they are fine, it gets regular maintenance. It wasn't having any issues before. It wasn't slipping or anything so I wouldn't think that it would be the transmission. I am doing the work myself so was wanting to know what I should try. I was thinking a sensor or something but code reader didn't show anything.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Ford Freestar. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Follow these simple steps:
Check fluid level with engine off and make note the level on dipstick.
Start engine and re-check fluid level and make note of level on dipstick.
IF both are the same (fluid level did not drop) - - the torque converter splines have stripped and transmission removal is required - period.
