Transmission problems 2004 Ford Focus?
I own a 2004 Ford Focus, never given me problems before until recently the transmission light turned on and now when I start my car if I put it into reverse it jerks, once I put it into drive it has a minimal jerk getting out of first gear but after it drives fine. If I drive it for a good period of time and turn it off then back on the transmission light turns off and it drives completely fine no jerks, just like new. I'm wondering what is wrong with it. I've gone to my mechanic and they say it's serious, but I'm highly doubtful. I've heard it could be the solenoid or just my transmission fluid that needs to be changed, and I've also heard a whole new tranny.
If there was a "transmission light" on there were transmission codes stored in the PCM. What were those codes? Go to the dealer next time the light comes on again just in case the bozo's you went to erased the codes in hopes the car would fix itself and go away.
It sounds like the transmission is worn out internally usually if there's a bad solenoid you'll have problems trying to shift through all the gears. Sometimes you can revive a transmission by changing the fluid and adding some additives but in this case it depends how much money your mechanic wants to take from you so if they say it's shot try another repair shop.
- My '06 Ford Taurus is having what i'm assuming transmission problems, any ideas? The other day while attempting to back up a small slope, my engine revved up and a message came on the info area of my dash saying to check the transmission. I turned off the car, turned it on and the check engine light was on. I go home and check the trans fluid and it's full. The next day I start my car and the check engine light is off, but now my car shakes on heavy acceleration and gear changes. I'm not a car person. Any ideas?

- Shifting problems and intake problems? I drive a 1997 ford ranger with a 2.3l automatic. I have recently experienced a hard shifting in my truck even when I'm not on the gas it has problems shifting. And I cleaned my air filter and filter hose that goes to my throttle body and there was transmission fluid in the hose. What can be causing this and how can I fix it or how much will it cost roughly?
