Hi.
I'm new to the forum. But not new to Tauri and the SHO.
Been driving Tauri since 1993. Still have the first one, and it still runs good (1987 Wagon 3.0 Vulcan, 235,000 miles)
In 1999, a dealer ad appeared in the local paper for a 1987 Taurus with a 5-speed. I responded. It was an MT-5, the forerunner to the SHO, sort of.
The dealer told me it was a "go anywhere car". I bought it for $1800. I still have it, 295,000 miles. The engine and trans never rebuilt or replaced. It still will go anywhere.
I liked the 5-speed Taurus so much, I started looking for a 5-speed SHO in 2002. Came across a 1989 SHO with 84,00 actual miles on it, a year later, in 2003. The car was in very good condition. Bought it for $2,400 and have driven it for over six years (now has 163,000 miles) with no mechanical problems. Until now.
I joined the forum after seaching the 'net for a forum with sound advise on the SHO.
Before posting the problem, I'll read thru the experiences of others.
Thanks for having this forum.
