My Ford Taurus (automatic)will go in reverse but not forward. The car was drivable one day and later that day it just wouldnt move forward. I had been having problems where the rpms would jump out of no where but other than that the car would run fine. Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong with it? How to fix it? Unfortunately I can fix just about anything on a car but don't know much about transmissions. Thanks for the help!  

The forward clutches are probably shot.
This is not a task for the weak at heart.

Just removing it is a chore.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the transmission has to be pulled completely out or can this part be replaced without the entire thing coming out.

It is likely the 1-2 band not applying. There are two possible "easy fix" things to check.
#1 The feed tube for the 1-2 servo can work loose from the case. Drop the pan and filter and see if a tube is hanging loose near the rear of the case. Pull on them to see if one moves easily, tap it back in and bend the retainer up to hold it.
#2 Remove the 1-2 sevo and check for a broken inner circlip on the servo pin, the clip holds a spring retainer on to the pin, if it breaks the piston wont push the pin into the case and the band wont apply. No 1-2 band apply - no forward.
The servo is at the rear of the trans partly hiden by the exhaust. Three 8mm bolts hold the cover on, you need a swivel to get the top one.
If this does not find the problem, try poking a tool into the servo pin hole in the case, you should hit something that stops the tool, (the band)  if not then the problem is a broken band. (not easy to fix)
