What do you mean, you manually shift the gears? My transmission is skipping 1st gear and clunking when I go into reverse. I was told I need a tranny, but I want to milk it for another 3000 or so like you did, so tell me what I need to do. Say I'm going to a stop sign or light... what do I do differently than I would do if I was going up a hill, since I have to do that too on the way to church. Ugh! I'm not putting any more parts on this 2000 Windstar... don't have money to buy another car, so it sucks!

For windstar LX 3.8L V6 has been rated by many as one of the worst minivans; but I disagree with you guys. It may be a surprise for you to learn that I had a 2000 Ford Windstar LX that ran for 285,438 KM without major problem except changing brakes and regular maintenance. I had to give up when I purchased a brand new SUV.
