I have a 1999 Ford Taurus, and everything was running fine one minute and
the next we lost the transaxle. Without warning the car will now not shift
into any gear. Is there anyone with knowledge of this condition? What the
heck is going on???

reverse?
is the shift moving and the transmission not doing anything??? maybe its
the shift mechanism that is not moving?? open the hoold an look and see
and then come back for a question with some info into it...

Yes Jim, the linkage to the shift mechanism is moving, I can see, when I
shift from park to drive it does nothing, it does the same in all gears
NOTHING.

Could be any one of many problems. Broken half shaft. The shift cable has come
loose......................Does the shift lever feel the same? Can you feel the
detents? Hows the fluid level?

Are you seeing the cable move or the bell crank?

It sounds like what I've heard described is a range indicator or sensor.

Dave, I had this problem on my '97 a while ago and it was the shift cable
that broke, however when I shifted it I could feel that there was no tension
at all on the shifter, so unless you feel no tension, that's probably not
your problem.

Hopefully you're lucky and it's something easy and cheap like the TR sensor.
Try unplugging and reconnecting the white connector on top of the
transmission, that's the main connector for all the solenoids and TFT
sensor. Perhaps there's a bad connection or something, it's something that
takes a couple seconds to do so might as well check it out.
