My car has approx. 147,000 miles on it. It is a 1999 SE Sport V6 w/ Automatic Transmission. Please read if you may be able to diagnose my car. Or with any help in finding me a new tranny, or maybe some opinion on my situation.
Well here is what happened: I was driving about 30- 40mph. My car started to hold back a little bit. I couldn't go any faster than 30mph or my car will start to jerk and almost sound like it would stall out. I tried to ride home at 30mph but I didn't make it. The car just started to rev up in Drive and would not go anywhere. I put it in 1 and it still would just rev up, I put it in 2 and same thing. So my friend and I put it in Nuetral and pushed it. A couple feet after pushing, the car started to catch a gear WHILE in Nuetral, so I hopped in and stepped on the gas a little. The car was DRIVING in Nuetral. I pulled into a parking lot and while all this was happening the O/D light was blinking on and off. The car would only go in Nuetral, so I thought I could make it home. I didn't even get out of the lot after it had started to just rev up. I couldn't even Reverse, it would just rev up in either PRND12. We tried to push the car in Nuetral again, but the brakes seemed like they had locked up or something in the ATX locked up. I tried everything to try to move it out of the drive-way of the parking lot.
Finally, we had called a tow truck and he pulled it on the flat bed easily. Once we brought it home, something was locked up and it wouldn't come off the bed. We used soap and water to slide the car off!! Oh it was a SAD SAD night for the Contour.
