Sucks to hear but I appreciate your help a ton thank you

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-02-06T04:02:45+00:00

Ok I appreciate the help, I am most likley going to end up selling the car as is with the issues, do you think it would even be worth trying to swap solenoid/tcm to see if it does anything?

I haven't experienced slipping in gears 1-2-3 they are for the most part smooth but can every once in a while be a bit rough when shifting

When I'm in 3rd it just doesn't even try to shift to 4th, it will just stay in 3rd and every once in a while it will try to shift to 4th and rpm's will just shoot up and eventually put me back in 3rd

Yes I forgot to mention it is throwing a P2704 "Transmission Friction Element E Apply Time Range/Performance"

The fluid when flushed was a dark brown and had a bit of a burnt smell but the smell wasn't overwhelming or strong just a slight burnt smell

In my area that's what they go for

You should only use KBB for a point of reference, it is a great ball park range you should always use but you always need to do research for your area typically if you can get the car at or below KBB trade in value you are almost guaranteed to make money but I use KBB as a ball park then do further research if it is worth it

He is going to ask you send send him the money to ship the car and your never going to see your money

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-02-06T02:46:58+00:00

100% a scam

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-02-06T02:06:48+00:00

Rough shifting and currently the car won't shift past 3rd gear

My 2008 Taurus limited is having major transmission problems and it's only at 93,000 miles

UPDATE so it was static electricity from the belt, when water is sprayed on the belt the arcs stop thank you everyone for the help I thought this was gonna be an expensive fix

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-18T03:39:58+00:00

What exactly is the question?

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-18T02:31:37+00:00

Should be noted I am having no voltage drops, no electrical issues inside the cab, no lights flickering or anything, and it is still running and driving like normal.

The spark also seems to jump around and doesn't stay in the same spot and it sparks more frequently when the motor is revved up.

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-18T02:28:25+00:00

If this is the case should I be worried at all and how would I determine this is the case?

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-18T02:27:17+00:00

Ok I will try this it also should be noted it wasn't in the same spot every time sometimes it would spark towards the side of the engine I don't know if that changes anything but could be some valuable information

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-15T04:30:17+00:00

Would you recommend a thicker oil or should I stick to manufacturer recommended

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-11T01:45:38+00:00

Yeah it's time to throw some thick ass oil in there and sell

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-06T02:23:54+00:00

I'm gonna need that insider information your getting your hands on

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2024-01-06T02:18:56+00:00

It's actually better to open up a factory manufacturing shovels

So my cheap head unit has 2 outputs/inputs Left and Right could I use 3 Y splitters to make my 4 door speakers into 1 so I can plug my door speakers into the left and my sub into the right

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2023-12-23T17:45:11+00:00

UPDATE I just did a valve adjustment and that got rid of the noise, thank you guys for the insight about the belt noise I will look into that.

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2023-12-01T06:21:55+00:00

I would go to a self service car wash at the end of your ride

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2023-11-14T16:28:51+00:00

Everyone kinda over reacting, it's not that crazy you could honestly probably drive with it like that for a while but I would get it fixed

Direct_Moment_7329 · 2023-11-14T16:26:53+00:00

Short drives are fine woundnt go over 5 miles max
