96LX 24 Dura auto, If I accelerate hard in 1st anywhere past 4,500 and prior to a 1st 2nd shift let off the gas pedal, the tranny bangs really really hard into 2nd, and or 3rd. I have a Jeep Grand that does this as well but so slight you don't notice it much. The Tour concerns me because the bag seems so violent. When it bangs the rev's are usually down well under 2,000.
If I let it shift at 6,000 all is ok, a normal 1st 2nd shift.
Fluid is clean and up. Should I be concearned, the car has 70K miles.
I am having the same problem, and have contacted a friend at a local dealer. Ford put out a few TSB's on the problem. First was a reprogram of the PCM, which Ford says will cost .2 hours (about 12 minutes). The other concerned the ISS (Intermediate Shaft Sensor), which would need replacing. Mine is still being looked at, but I feel your pain on those hard 1-2 shifts!
