Hello:
Have a '95 mercury sable with about 80,000 miles on it.
Have a bit of a transmission problem.
Occasionally, when in drive, from starting out, or already in motion, pressing on the accelerator does nothing. Engine runs fine, but apparently disconnected from transmission and drive wheels.
Has been diognosed as a broken (or stuck ?) "control piston" in the transmission, and that I should try adding Lucas Transmission Fix fluid to the transmission.
Also have been told that Ford changed this "control piston" from steel to Aluminum that year, and hence the problems.
My question are;
a. what is this control piston ? -does this sound like the likely cause ?
b. Worth trying this Lucas product. ?
c. worth trying anything else ?
Much thanks, Bob
