What gives? Is there some sort of sensor that is going bad? is it tranny related? Am i screwed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Aaron 1998.5 SVT Contour (now thumpin') 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX Sport (running and going through gas like a mofo!)

I did the throttle hang fix, and went with the larger diameter hole in the center and it seemed to drop off way too quickly. You had to almost sorta double clutch it to keep the rpm's up inbetween shifts, even with the fastest shifts from the shortthrow it still dropped off for a rough reingagement. So I took it out for now. Should I try a even bigger center whole, or whats the idea? 98 Black Contour SVT #1273 Born the 23rd of June, 1997
