I took my mom's 95 zetec out one night when my last vehicle was broke down. I had that poor tranny so screwed up it was funny. I'd floor it till just before it shifted then again right after it shifted and then let off a little into second and let it slow down to where it would downshift into first when I floored it again to start the whole thing over. If I did that whole process two or three times it would finally just shift out of gear until I let off the gas. Poor car.
