| Description of the problem | My 2005 mercury monterey will 66,765 miles on it will not engage the transmission. You can put it in forward, reverse, or any other gear and it does not have the normal feel that any engagement happened. And when you let off the brake it does not move and when you give it some gas it does not move. It does not matter which gear it is in either. The car made it home with out any notice of the problem but the next day when i wanted to back out of the garage the transmission is totally gone. From research i know i'm going to hear that the torque converter output shaft splines are stripped causing a sudden loss of power to the drive-train. |
