Transmission problems

Thanks you for this post I got a new sensor for $46.00 the car works great! I love this site.

I found a very nice looking 2005 Ford Escape 3.0L 6 cylinder car on the auction and was able to get the car for $1400 ($1900 including fees). The car was guaranteed to Run & Drive or return the car. We went to get the car and turns out the engine was able to start properly; however, the car turns on Park but when I move the stick shift to any other mode, the car stays on Park and doesn't move forwards or backwards. Two of the people who work there came to see what's wrong with the car, one looking under the hood and one moving the stick shift, and I heard them saying that something moves when the they shift the transmission. The car also has rust above the back wheels. We ended up returning the car for a full refund. The car came back on the auction and we are thinking about spending no more that $600 (or more if it's worth it) to re-buy the car. We also found a good deal to get a whole new transmission system for $500 and we will probably the same for labor. What do you think would be the problem with the transmission? Would we need to replace the whole system? How much do you think would be the cost to fix the rust on the car? I am mainly buying this car so I can sell it for a higher price, I heard that it's very hard to sell this type of car and that it usually has a lot of mechanical problems from a mechanic that my friend knows, Do you agree? Please provide as much detail possible on the transmission problem. Vin# 1FMCU03155KD75895

Shifs fine when driving then suddenly down shifts on own and at times into neutral, then when stopped can return driving by shifting up. This is auto transmission 4x4

Transmission not shifting in drive posistion but will shift if shifted manually

2003 Ford Escape Automatic

Automatic gere shifter on the column is locked and will not shift into gear

I've noticed that my 2003 ford escape downshifts itself and will not pick up/hold speed like it should. Also, I've noticed that I am able to start my vehicle but not move it at times. Could it be the transmission going bad or could it be something else?

Hello,

The problem Ford Escape 3.0
Battery dead then slipping on the shifting form 2-3 gear.
No DTC codes appears.
Rebuilt with:
- Master repair kit (seals frictions, gaskets, pistons etc.)
- New solenoid body
- New valve body
- New filter and almost all details in pump
- New planetary.

The result: when cold transmission (approx 10 min after start) everything OK
When hot tranny 2-3 slipping, other 1-2, 3-4 soft shift

What is wrong and where to find problem?

The problem that all this done in tranny repair shop with tranny experienced guys. The scanner used for diagnosis is professional from Ford dealer in Minsk (Belarus). The plates are new, three times checked and adjusted clearance between plates. Seals and gaskets are new as well. So I did the senor and the problem is gone thanks for he help I love this site.

It rolls backwards when I am on a small or large hill when the car is in drive. I was wondering if the tranny is slipping or if their is something else wrong with the gearbox. It has never done this before.

The trans fluid is good and the check engine light is not on.

My car has been running great until yesterday. I was driving and all of the sudden the engine would rev but the car would not move. I shut it off and tried again in a few minutes. It went about 100 feet then same thing. Today I changed the fluid and it was full but black and burnt. I drove ti around for like 10 minutes and ti was fine then it started whining then would not move again. After beign shut off for a few it would move a little bit then same thing. How bad is this? I am optimistic that its not all bad since after time it would work.
