More transmission questions.

Have a 95 Windstar 3.8. Sometimes you can put it in gear and it does fine. Then other times you can put it in foward or reverse and it does nothing, almost like it is still in park or neutral. Any thoughts on what it could be.

When this happens, when you get on the gas, what happens? Does the engine rev without the car moving? Also, how do you remedy this? Do you put it back in park and then drive? Does it fix it?

drop pan, drain fluid, change filter, fill it up with new fluid, and add lucas trans fix.

Yes the engine revs up when you give it the gas. But you put it in drive and it doesn't move. The only thing I did to remedy it was shut the van off for a few minutes. When I went back and started it up it drove well enough to pull back in the garage.

Did you check the fluid level?
