I recently bought my 95 Contour, and I have been noticing a certain problem with the transmission-and it only seems to happen when I am taking it very easy off a start. I bring first to about 2300, then shift to second, and as I am accelerating slowly, at around 1750 RPM or so, I will hear a grinding sound-not very loud, but still audible, and I can feel it in the gas pedal. As far as I can tell, this is the only time this noise happens, and I can reproduce it consistantly. I have no other problems with the car getting kicked out of gear or anything. Anyone know what this might be?
