98 Contour's automatic transimission is not engaging forward gears.
At first, transmission seemed to take time in warming up and engaging gears. Had to resort to shifting manually. It would rev high and then accept shifts from 1 to 2 to D, sometimes it would grab D but usually after about 1/2+ mile driving.
Drained, flushed and changed tranny oil the other day. Now it barely grabs first and is revving more freely than actually moving vehicle. Reverse works fine. Fluid level seems fine, no leaks.
Changed out the TSS sensor, but no difference.
Is it the torque convertor? There was no history of dramatic failure, just less response when starting out in gear over past few weeks.
