What owners wrote
While driving vehicle clutch disengages, causing vehicle not to move from a stand still. Dealers have replaced clutch assembly seals which corrected problem.
Eng size 3.0 transmission type ax4s or axode , transmission just stop pulling forward, had car since oct. 1998 bought used alway had problem with jerking when changing to first or second gear from day one when I bought car . Told the dealer about the jerking when changing gear he said the the way the car was made. Car is in shop now for transmission work. They said it must be the computer , couldnt find nothing wrong with the transmission. I think a recall should have been made on 1996 taurus .
