Need suggestions about transmission problems in a 2000 Ford Taurus Wagon. I have had the car about a year. I have not noticed any slipping or problems.

« Ok about that note on my truck, I forgot to mention that I was talking about shocks on my truck, but since they do the same job as stuts on a car, it would be the same thing.. OK.. LOL »
« More than 1/2 a bounce for me on the Taurus and it's going in for replacements. I won't put up with more than one rebound. Still originals, & tight, at 180,000 mi. Rob »
« Be careful here. Have the springs in the front been replaced? i had a 2000 and it had a broken coil at the spring seat. I found it out by sticking my hand in there and finding a sharp, broken end.. »

Hi, when I try to use the wind shield cleaner, I can hear the pump operating but only a few drops of wind shield cleaner fluid comes out from the nozzle. The spray is so weak that it doesn't make it to the wind shield. Yes, I have checked to make sure that there was wind shield cleaner fluid in th..
