hi ho all. well, i bragged on how my 2 taurus's were working so well and my wagon took it personal.. Can ya'll tell me this ? #1, is "transaxle" another name for the transmission, or is it the cv-joint axle assembly ? the exclamation-point-in-the-gear dash icon started blinking for about a1 /2 hr today. i turned it off for a 1/2 hr and when i tuned it back on, the icon was off. does this happen like "check-engine" does ? it drove just fine w/ no problems or shifting problems. help ! thanks

Transaxle to some is synonomous with transmission, but it really isn't...more info on the meaning of the two here: WikiAnswers - What is the difference between a transmission and a transaxle

But on to your issue...head over to AutoZone or the like, and have them scan your car for codes, sometimes the transmission light will spit out a code.
