'99 Contour---Update - 10/30/05 10:55 PM
Just wanted to keep everyone who has been helpful updated on my situation. Read HERE for the thread.
1.)Today I finally removed the TSS after soaking it repeatedly with PB Blaster for the last week (was still a bit tough to remove though), and installed the new one. The 'bang shifting' still occured, so I did the ATF Change using the how-to which Tony suggested. To much horror the fluid coming out of the transmission was a different color than what was on the dipstick (Does this make any sense??). The fluid was nasty smelling, and was really dark. But I have yet to drive it around (other than around the block), and the 'bang-shift' seems to still be there.
2.)I realized today that the morons at Penzoil put in the wrong weight oil last oil change (10W-30)...after I told them to put 5W-30 in it Guess I just need to stick with doing things myself again...at least if I screw it up I have no one to blame but myself.
Anyway, that's what I've done so far, and the bang shift is still present...I'll drive it to work tonight and find out for sure if its still there. I shouldn't need to reset the PCM again should I?? I just did that not too long ago.
My next step after correcting Penzoil's screw up, will be to clean the MAF, and all things relating to the intake...which if there is anyone reading this who has performed it on a 2.0 zetec, please input.
That's all for now I guess...Thanks in advance
