    Dan, you've the patience of a saint to answer all these comment & do that job. my hats off to you. I just acquired a Windstar free due to a trans problem & I did many trans. on carbed vehicles. My fav. was a Cordoba. 4 bolts also held up the front end, although that wasn't needed to change the trans. Watching how removal of these is akin to watching a scary movie. Should I render it scrap metal, I'll at least learn my lesson. Happy motoring to you.

  • @amt1298

    If the rest of the vehicle and engine are in good shape, I would swap out the transmission with a remanufactured unit. You should take a look at what maintenance has been done to the engine and see if there are any leaks or things that need to be done. That will help you decide to drop the engine and transaxle as one unit with the subframe or not. A whole lot easier to do all of your repairs to the engine when it is out of the vehicle.

    Hi Dan, Just wanted to say up front this is one of the most friendly and helpful vehicle help you tube comment sections I have EVER read though! You are a true prince of the internet! Your patience and explanatory skill shines through and through. The video is very helpful too. I myself am on the outside edge of a Windstar problem. So anyway, my friend and business partner has suddenly encountered trouble with his '03.Windstar. I think but am not sure that his issue sounds very early in the failure mode you described.It drops into neutral suddenly while trying to climb hills or accelerate. (And the van is full of heavy constructuon debris right now too.) I believe it then recovers. It was still on the road yesterday and a he took it to a local mechanic who looked at the fluid level and condition and said it was ok. The nearest transmission shop won't even look at it. They say it is too old to get parts for any problem they might find. Kind of discouraging. Your youtube gives me some hope though. So thank you for being the kind of person that the world needs more of these days! I am going to follow up and see what we can do about this because without some fix we won't be able to move stuff around for the next job we have lined up very easily. Thanks again Dan! I will probably be back to consult if this looks like the way to go. Take care!

    @@amt1298 wow! Thanks for asking! And very much for replying to my inquiry. Actually my friends van may not get the attention you might be able to help him with. I will check with him the next time we get together for work. He seemed like he may just give up on the van when we sorted out how to still work around not having his van to use. We managed to move the ladders we needed with my vehicle. Since he has a small car he is using that to get around now. The van has a number of other things he said it would also need so I guess he thinks it isn't worth kicking a dead horse. And like a lot of drivers he may have been ignoring any dashboard warning lights over the years. Seems I think I saw the check engine light on last time I ride with him. He has a mechanic that might tell him what it was and not to worry about it. I don't know about anything flashing though. I will ask him. Thanks again Dan. Take care!

Something must have blown because the hack no longer works and the mode actuator doesn't switch from vent to def or floor. I tried doing the fix again nothing.

    Well I disagree. The Ford manual for my Windstar states to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. Other than this design flaw which caused this pump shaft failure, I have not had any problems with my transmission. I have an upgraded bearing and seal set where this old shaft failed. I have almost 185,000 on my wife’s Windstar. I would say this, perform maintenance and recommend by the manufacturer and ensure you use the fluid recommended.

    Hi Dan. I have a 2001 windstar and I dropped the trans pan to do a filter change and found some needles from a bearing and a small piece of what looks like the bearing cage. Is there any other needle bearings besides the pump shaft bearing? Trans works fine without any problems but I'm thinking this might be the pump shaft bearing coming apart and will attempt to do that repair if you believe there's no other possibility of another bearing. I'm not experienced enough to go any deeper then the pump shaft bearing. Thank You in advance.

  • @amt1298
