Comments on: I have a 1999 ford Taurus when I start to accelerate from a stop it is like it goes in neutral then hits hard?

your trans is definetly slipping…or your linkage is all jacked up.

check the condition and the level of your auto trans fluid…it should be bright red and on the full mark with the engine running

if its dark brown or black…and smells all burnt up…than your trans is definetly on its way out

flush and fill on the trans maybe?? but once its on its way out theres really nothing to do to save it

sounds like transmission fluid is low.

Yeah, Speed Sensor or Bad (Weak) Pump, Low or burnt Fluid. First Gear is the Hardest Shift for the transmission.
