I was wondering why my 2000 Contour SE Sport doesn't always shift into first when I shift the ATX to 1. I first noticed it when I was driving this summer with 5 people in the car and the A.C. turned on. It was struggling and I put it into first to get up this (little) hill and it stayed in second. It doesn't always do this, but it seems strange to me that it will not always go into first gear. I thought that if you selected a gear, it went into that gear. Just seems odd... suggestions?
