Had the Turbine speed sensor replaced and I still have the hard shift from First to Second. Now the OD light flashes constantly. Could it be the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Any suggestion guys? Thanks. 1997 Mondeo Ghia 2.0 ATX

Never heard of catalyst overheat sensor....How much did they charge you for this? An ounce of prevention provides a pound of cure!
