11/12/2011 CVO1.First inspect the transmission linkage for the forward for a loose connection, if it was in order, then go the next step.
2.There are two planetary gear sets in the transmission, the forward and the reverse. The forward planetary gear set is broken.
Visit this site to see the planetary gear set.
Visit this site and see the planetary gear set. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/
Scroll the screen almost to the bottom and you will see a planetary gear, it looks alike to a pencil rotating sharpener.

The shift solenoids that you requested- XS4Z-7H148-AA is an on/off shift solenoid. There are 2 on the valve body. The price is $43.37 ea. XS4Z-7G484-AA is an pulse width modulated shift solenoid. There are 3 of these, at $92.92 ea.
That sensor replacement was easy. Drop the pan, unbolt the sensor and replace
"also whats the difference between the vss and abs semsor??" VSS is for the vehicle speedo ABS is for the brakes
I'd be surprised if changing the VSS will make an impact with the repair. The other 2 is where i out my money at but an opinion from a repair shop is needed.

My car is jerking while I give it gaskeith496 - 2000 Mercury Cougar - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 10/27/2011When I drive my car for a long period of time it starts to jerk as I give it gas-
10/27/2011 JimmPossible Causes of Engine Hesitation or Stumble:
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:
Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires

My car has transmission trouble. it will not do anything (forward or reverse).Jim - 2003 Mercury Sable - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 10/12/2011My car has a little over 100K miles on it. For the last 3 to 4 years it seemed to have a miss or skip in the engine. We changed the plugs and plugwires, cleaned the injectors and other things we could think of to do. NOTHING HELPED!!! Then the other day the ...-
10/12/2011 Spoon Sports"I souldn't be having transmission trouble at 100K miles." - Well, it all depends on how meticulous you are in maintaining your tranny. It also depends on how you use it. My friend got his tranny busted because he was too lazy to put it in N during a red light.
Anyway, since you are already in that stage, you have to bring it to a specialist. Sorry to break it to you this way chief. Im sure your check engine light is ON, get it scanned.
Of course, we can guess like what you did 3-4 years ago and look where it brought you...
10/15/2011 JimNo, there is no check engine light on.
