- 1995 aerostar
hi, i have a 95 aerostar,everything was fine untill my emission test.
when i had to rev it and hold it at high rpms, right at the end of the test smoke rolled out from under the vehicle "not oil smoke" but smoke that had a funny odor kind of like wires but not quite. the tech almost crapped himself wanted me out the door in a hurry. i pulled out and there was no more smoke and i couldn't tell where it had come from. nothing wet,leaking, or burnt wires.
so he lets me back in to do the fuel tank pressure test and when i start to back up the van "jumps" all the way back. after being enlightened by this "tech" he decides to "let me pass".
so i put it in drive and away i go, no problems. a few shifts from drive to reverse back to drive everything seems fine.
then one day, say a week or two later i come home from work and the wife says the van doesn't want to go forward, it will but it doesn't want to, engine revs high but barely crawls along. so i go out to check it out. goes forward fine but jumps in reverse. i change the fluid and filter with no results "fluid was a little dark" so i find you guys and check my modulator, sure enough there is fluid in the vacuum line, i install a new modulator. then its slow going into first and slips a little, then slips a little in second, but does great the rest of the shifts. so i turn the allen screw on the modulator a few turns in, goes into drive with very little hesitation. road test it and it doesn't slip although shift points are farther out "higher rpm", then after about 3 miles "around the block" i lose all forward gears and have to back it home.
let it cool off and tried again still no forward gears. gonna get a junkyard tranny as soon as i can swing it.
