Bad mounts can cause this issue. Also, it may come & go, depending on how the mount resettles after jumping. Probable culprits are the transaxle mount (under airbox) & rear roll resistor (look up from bottom between firewall & tranny) The drivetrain shifting may also account for strange steering response.

I was having the problem for about two months. I would disconnect the battery let the memory reset and the car would work fine for about five days then it would hit again. The part cost about $40.00 dollars. It was the best $40.00 dollars i spent in repairs. 95 Contour SE Champaign MODS. 9mm Ford Motor Sport Plugs

There is a Turbine Speed Sensor, located on the pump as described above I believe and there is the Transmission Range Sensor, aka MLP (Manual Lever Position Sensor). The MLP is what I believe he was refering to as the traction range sensor. Phillip Jackson `98 Mystique LS 262K+ and counting... ATX rebuilt @ 151K "This storm has broken me, my only friend!"
