I already posted this in the troubleshooting section, but I figured maybed this should be in the transmission section too, so I just pasted a copy of what I put there.
On my way to the CEG meet at Joe's house, I was fooling around on the highway with Steve and Hector. Anyways, while I was showing them two what a duratec can do against the zetecs, my o/d light started flashing. It was a hot day today, and it was a long way to Joe's house, so we suspected it was my transmission being overheated. Not to mention the burning plastic/rubber smell that was getting into car. When we got off of the highway, I noticed that my transmission is upshifting very hard. It was never this rough before. They told me I should just let my car cool off and we will see what happens later on. So about 4 hours later I went back into my car to drive it, and the o/d light stopped flashing. BUT it still has a rough upshift. Is my transmission fried? They suggested I flush my transaxle fluid, should I do that and is it hard to do? Is it maybe a sensor? Am I going to have to take the bus to work now?
By the way, this is an automatic transmission with almost 76,000 miles on it. The rest of the info is
