Hi folks,
I've been researching past threads about hard shifting problems in my 98 Contour GL 4cyl and have learned that apparently, the TSS and/or ATF change helped the most. I drive 50 miles to work and the shifting is fine at first but once I pull off the interstate after 40 miles, 1st - 2nd shifts are extremely abrupt. Sometimes chirping the tires. The tranny was rebuilt about 2 years ago and has about 25K miles on it so I'm assuming it's not the tranny itself. At least I hope it's not.
My questions are...Is it a good bet that replacing the TSS and ATF will help? Also, where do I look for it (the TSS) once I open the hood?
Thanks,
Tim
