Recently received a 1995 Ford Windstar(3.8L 4 speed trans.) for free. Vehicle is in great condition physically and the engine is very clean. The only problem is the transmission lacks reverse. All forward gears seem to work fine and the fluid is only mildly discolored nor does it have a burnt smell. I will most likely replace the entire unit. I was, however, curious if anyone here might have an insight as to any issues or possible fixes short of an entire trans swap.
