Ok, before going to a tranny shop, I stopped by the local garage today where we take my wife's car for service. As I started explaining my problem he told me it was the "shift cable". He said this is a very common problem with Fords. He stopped what he was doing, grabbed a socket wrench, and...

Thanks L1TECH, I was just going to post another problem I'm having. Every now and then it won't start in park. Someone told me this morning that both problems together would more than likely be the trans. shift cable. So I will have that checked first. If that's the problem, great! If not...

I just took my Sport Trac in yesterday for the same problem! It's an 01 with 37,000 miles on it. Took out the ESP when I bought it. The gave me a loaner,called me today and said they're replacing the whole transmission! Lucky me, the ESP runs out in Sept.!
