Could be a failing solenoid or the clutch inside the gearbox.

The transmission is not creating enough oil pressure to make it operate properly. This is an indication of a worn out transmission. Should take it to a transmission shop for proper diagnosis.

Hello, I have a 2001 Ford Taurus Wagon and it is having some issues.
