My 98 ford windstar transmission went I think. It showed no signs of trouble, no slippage or nothing, it was fine and all of a sudden while driving it just went out. I only had the van for 12 days. I checked the fluid and it was halfway up the stick. Drained the fluid, replaced gasket and filter, refilled. Still will not go. You can hear the linkage shifting.

These forums are for the big Ford Trucks, this one is for the diesels. But you may get some help here:

It sounds like your tranny is toast. Sorry to give bad news. You can take/tow it to a tranny shop and have the tranny scanned. Maybe it can be saved.
