Hi all,
My name is Nick and I have a 2000 Ford Contour SE. It's been a great car for the past 7 years of ownership, but I started having problems ever since I crossed the 110000 mile threshold.
When I am driving on the freeway between 65-75 MPH, my car will mysteriously shift out of overdrive. My RPM's quickly raise form 2000 to 4000. After a few seconds, the transmission shifts back into overdrive. Sometimes this problem happens only once on my way to work, sometimes it happens many times, and others my car can not get back into O/D.
Reading around these forums, I found people with similar problems, but they never followed up with a solution post. Possible problems:
Thanks!
