1991 Ford Aerostar Hesitating - Drive Train & Driveline

Question: When i put it into reverse it goes in fine but when i put it into drive it just sits there for a few second then when it does kick into gear it kinda clunks into gear.it doesnt hesitate after that it will shift just fine . Then when i take it out of gear then try to put it back in it does the same thing hesitates for a few second then it will kick in. i changed the filter on the tranny but still does the same i thought it was cuz it sat for awhile. I think it might be the modulator but i dont know but a reply would be greatly appreciated.

Technican: Hello, Well a modulator has to do with the upshifting of gears but not the engagement of DRIVE to begin driving. I'll see if I can find a Technical Service Bulletin that address "Delayed Engagement". I do believe there may be a seal in the transmission that allows fluid to bypass pressure instead of seal it completely. The pump can overcome the condition within a few seconds of time and the vehicle goes into gear. I believe you'll need to find a transmission technician that will road test with you and evaluate the condition for an estimate to repair. From there it will need to be decided if you choose to invest in this vehicle because you want to keep it. I'll report back soon.

Technican: I do not find a Tech Bulletin that address delayed or harsh engagement of the Aerostar transmission in the data base. Your thoughts?,

Owner: k send it to one of the your friends the answer must be out there. I would like to find an answer or atleast know if i have to buy a new tranny.

Technican: I'm surprised you didn't grasp what I was telling you.

From there it will need to be decided if you choose to invest in this vehicle because you want to keep it. We can't suggest on line that it is something you can fix yourself unless you are skilled in transmission repair procedures. I doubt you need a new transmission. If you will seek the advice of a local transmission technician and show them what is happening you should be able to get a professional opinion and an estimate. Feel free to release the question a second time if you need to hear from others. Respectfully,
