But I was doing some thinking, and my van start misshifting thing until after I got rear-ended in an accident. Before that it drove fine so I'm kind of at a loss for words here. I'm thinking about taking it in next week to drop it off at the shop all day so they can have a chance to take a look at it and give me a price quote on the repair.

Something happened to the Site this weekend. Internet Explorer 11 on my RAID 10 server crashes over and over then tries to recover the page and locks again. I finally made it back in after a recovery and posted this..............It might be awhile before I'm back here!

Sorry for late reply. Fluid is red.
There's a new problem now. After a overnight stay in the hospital I was driving home and my trans mission went into "Limp" mode. Wouldn't go over 45mph. I pulled over and turned it off for 5 minutes. Then it started and I got it back home, but now I'm afraid to drive it. When it rains it pores it seams.

You need to get the codes read to be able to diagnose this. The codes will stay in memory for about a month after the last time the light was on. The places that read codes free CANNOT read these codes. You need a good independent shop or a Ford dealer.

You can drive it wherever you need to go but you might have to shift it manually ...But as Mark said you need to know what codes are present.....you could disconnect the batteries to clear them but they will come back....
