Transmission Problems 93 Taurus

I have a 93 Taurus with about 126,000 miles on it. When I make a
slow turn and come out of the turn, it is like the car is choking and
it lunges several times. Also, when I am driving on the road, the
transmission sporadically (but not that often) misses. In the past the
transmission acted up and a "power flush" of transmission fluid fixed
the problem. However, in the past I never had the "slow turn" problem.
I am wondering now whether a power flush would fix the problem or
whether I would just be wasting my money to get a power flush.

Thanks,

JD

My friend had the same symptoms with his 93' Taurus a few years ago. The
transmission down shifted roughly when he accelerated, after slowing
down in a turn. It would sometimes do this without turning. He tried
replacing the fluid and filter but the transmission had to be rebuilt to
make it shift properly again. The Taurus/Sable automatic transmissions
were known to have problems for most of their production years. I don't
know if Ford ever corrected this before the line was dropped. Let us
know what you find out with yours.
