1994 FORD TAURUS

I have 94 ford tauras with 130000 miles
the trans will shift into drive if you rev the engine a little high and then rus through the gears fine but it will not go into reverse you can hear it shift into reverse but it wont move
i just bought the car for 400.00 everything else is perfect on it paint interior everything just thought you might have an idea

I would check the fluid for being low and or caontaminated, fill to proper level if it is low, if it isnt low your problem is going to be internal

also the fluid is checked with the car running

let us know

Unfortunately yes, and it sounds like you picked up the car cheap, beroe you do a rebuild I would check prices on a reman unit from ford, you would be surprised at the difference in the overhaul unit and the reman, most of the time within 200 bucks and a better warranty nationwide, just some food for thought

thanks, jim
