the tranny in my 97 contour is driving me crazy!! so far it's been rebuilt, new torque converter, new solenoid pack, new oil pump, new speed sensors, new valve body, new computer, and the o/d light is still giving me fits. it's not a constant problem but it comes and goes along with the hard shifting. everything that should have cured the problem has been done, i think so if i'm missing something PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

It's my baby!!! I love to pull up to a honda or a VW and blow their fast and furious doors off. Imports can suck my american exhaust!!!

when did you have thr atx rebuit? What did they replace? Who rebuilt it?
Check your ground strap on atx. Also check ground strap on boo switch - Brake on/off switch. this ground is on same ground as atx.
What type of driving, weather occurs when you have problem?

ground strap and boo switch are ok. any other ideas? it seems to be electrical but I don't have any info on what sensors control, or send the failsafe command to the computer, then to the tranny. HELP!!

When you say new valve body....is it rebuilt? Did the shop rebuild it or did they purchase and install a rebuilt valve body? Does it have the shift correction kit?
Does this problem happen when it is raining....going up a hill..., etc.

Find a good tranny shop. Have them hook up gauges to the line and CT ports as well as a scanner to the OBD port. Then go for a ride with the tech. Do some hwy and local driving. The pressure gauges and the scanner should tell them all they need to know.
You seem to have a lot of mods. You might try removing some and see if the problem goes away.

the valve body was bought from a rebuilder and was supposedly completely tested. the problem is totally unpredictable. when the tranny goes into safety mode it's not supposed to go into overdrive, but it does. the car runs great on the highway, it's only shifts hard from first to second and second to third. i was with the mechanic when he test drove the car with the diagnostics hooked up and everthing was good then pow, it goes into safety mode. i'm at a loss, but thanks for your suggestions.
