OP sgtstubs Junior Member S Joined: May 2002 Posts: 9 Apple Valley, MN	hmmm...Is there anything I can look for or should I take it in. When it was under warranty I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong and then about a year ago I took it to an independant shop that has always done good work, and they couldn't find anything wrong. Also, I plan to change my transmission fluid, any advise before I start? 97 Contour LX Sport TruRev,Bosch Platinum +4 -Just Starting to mod
