I have a 2001 Ford Escape with an automatic transmission that will not engage into drive. It goes in all other gears fine and if you are moving about 35 mph or better you can move the transmission into drive and it will then work until you slow to under 35 mph.

not sure what the issue is but it started happening yesterday,

I had a similar issue with mine only mine was at 22,000 miles. Pretty much my whole transmission went out on me. Right before I took it to the stealership it dropped reverse so I had to push it out of my driveway. They ended up replacing the entire transmission with another junky CD4E.

Well the transmission stopped working completely while I was on the highway the other day dropped out of gear and wouldn't go into any gear again. Had to have it towed from the highway what a backup I caused!!!!

Well the Ford Dealership wanted $3,400 for a new transmission and Amaaco wanted 1,600. hmmm Amaaco it is.
