Added (1). but shifts into reverse just fine
Check the fluid level, if its full, the only advice i can give is to take it to a trans shop
It's what a former mechanic of mine referred to as "morning sickness". Unfortunately the problem will become worse and worse until it doesn't work at all. So if it's worth it to you, get the transmission rebuilt. If not, start looking for another car.
Needs rebuilt. What's happening is rubber lips seals inside the transmission are worn. Once fluid warms up it expands the rubber allowing the pistons to apply. Reverse works great since pressure in reverse is higher than forward gears
Sounds like the transmission oil pump is failing. There's not enough pressure to lock the clutch packs while cold. You will be needing a tranny soon. It's time to trade the vehicle in while it still moves or plan on spending $2,000 to rebuild the transmission. It won't last long at this point.
While it very well COULD need to have the transmission rebuilt, it may just be low on oil. Check that first.
This is, however, assuming that it's an automatic.
- Where is the solenoid that controls gear shifts in an automatic transmission located at? I'm trying to replace the selenoid that controls gear shifts for a 2001 ford taurus but need to know where its located at

- 1994 Ford Ranger, Rough Cranking When Engine Is Warm/Hot? - 1994 Ford Ranger - 2.3l Engine - 110k Miles My truck has been having problems cranking when the engine is warmed up/hot. When the engine is cold or hasn't been started for like 2-3hours, it will start right up. I have a few ideas of what it may be, but I would like others opinions also. - ECT Sensor? - ICM? - Crank Sensor? Those are the three I have thought of that could be causing a problem with my situation.
- Ford ka stuttering 2004 only when engines warm why? Stuttering at low revs when engines warm when press down on the accelerator, so does it the worst when stopped at the lights an pulling off and when at low revs in any gear. I was thinking on changing the spark plugs and leads but I only changed the plugs 6months ago could it still be the plugs? Where would you start with the problem? I've also heard that the fuel pump failure is a common fault on ford kas could it be a early sign of that going?
