Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994.

Default Tranny Out

I have a 93 Tempo with the 2.3 and 160K+ miles.

I was driving it and turned into a side street to turn around.When I put it in reverse,it wouldnt do anything,nothing.I then tried drive and the other gears,it wouldnt do anything.

This car was mostly a daily driver and seemed to be doing fine,it did act funny when topping a hill at a normal speed but it seemed to be doing fine.

If there was any slipping it wasnt something that I noticed.

What happened?

Default Tranny just quit

Mine just quit like last Sunday. Transmission place thought it was the pump shaft broke but when they removed the transmission and looked it was fine. Getting one from a junk or recycled parts place but has been a week and my generator for this storm is in the trunk of the car. Luckily we didn't loose power for very long.
