93 2.3 mustang trans problem

[ncplaya88]

I was on my way to work an was coming to a red light an it died when i came to a stop, like not pushing the clutch in on a manual. I needed to get out of the road, i started it back, put in drive an died. I tried it again an this time reved it up an it bumped into drive an i got to a pull off. I sat there for a minute an started it up an put it in drive but nothing. I wouldnt move. I could rev it up to about 5000 rpm an move maybe 5 mph. I sat there for even longer an needed to get down the road. So i reved it at 5000 rpm moving only maybe 5 mph an moved a pretty good way an then bam it started going just fine all the way to the house except a slight vibration. If i came to a stop on the way it would die an would have to rev it an move untill it started again. Now its home an i cant even move it. Everytime i put it in gear it dies. In park it will run ok, it just seems to have a vibration when it idles but not a bad one. The trans fluid is good.....but im thinking i might have caused the problem now the more i think. The old a4ld slipped real bad an i had this one laying around so i put it in. My car is a 93 an i swapped in a older a4ld out of a mustang. The lockup on the side of the trans from the one i pulled was a 3 wire connector. The one i put in was a 2 wire, I just matched up the colors an left one wire unhooked. It seemed fine.....drove the car for a month an hafe with no problems an now this. I have tried unhooking it, disconnecting the battary. What do you think is wrong with my car? The torque convertor? Engine problem? Trans problem?.........detail lol

Hi,

Sounds liek the trans is toast. What color is the fluid? Also, check the vacuum modulator for traces of trans fluid.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like it could be your torque converter.I am also having to put a 87 a4ld transmission in my 91 mustang and was wondering how you dealt with the 3 wire to a 2 wire swap.
