Operation Bucking Taurus

[krycus21]

99 Ford Taurus 3.0
tranny fluid flushed every 35k-40k miles

So besides my no heat from inside the cab, im having a totally different problem now. my wife drove to the store (car drove fine) after shopping she tried to put it in reverse and it did nothing, said it seemed like she was in neutral. she had someone push her out of the parking space then she put it in drive. she drove about a mile and the car was starting to buck like crazy so she pulled off to the side of the road and called me. I started the car and the car started to buck like she said, but the odd part it bucks in park also. I rented a car dolly and towed it home, and put the code reader on it just to see if it popped any codes, nothing, any ideas?

+1 for doing a proper diagnostic procedure and not just throwing parts at it!
