You need to get the codes checked. The 95's are the only year with EEC IV (at least the early 95's - they may have switched to OBD II later in the year). I am going through the same thing with my daughter's 95 Contour (V6 auto). I first replaced the transmission range sensor and it didn't fix the problem. (I just took a guess and I was wrong) Next, I borrowed a code reader and it said "no signal from VSS" which is the vehicle speed sensor. I have a new VSS on order so I'll let you know if it fixed the problem. I believe that the computer goes to a "limp home mode" when these sensors fail. My daughter's doesn't go into high gear and shift very abruptly.
