96' V6 AUTO, WITH 94K. Trans problem started at highway speeds with trans slipping for approx 1 or 2 seconds and going back in to overdrive. Now the trans is slipping in first gear or mucher lower RPM. The transmission shop couldn`t find anything wrong and no trans codes. Any ideas? or is it time to get rid of the car.

that problem seems to sound like the problem that the older style Taraus had, the car almost wouldn't move while in first. When that happened the transmission had failed and was replaced. But that may not be it, my mother 98 windstar wasn't slipping but was making some funny noises at highway speed, a filter change and new fluid took care of that. I would say change the filter and fluid and see if that makes a difference. Also make sure you have enouhg fluid in the transmission since I beleive the fluid and filter are suppose to be changed around 50k
