Just replaced the Fuel Filter because it was stalling at cold start (thanx to the suggestions on this forum!) Now I have another problem. It won't shift from 1st gear at high Acceleration. If I just put the gas on slowly it's fine, but if you pounce on it it won't shift until you take your foot off the gas. Any ideas????????? Thanx! '97 Mercury Mystique GS (Not mine anymore...)

I also drive a 97 mystique gs atx with about 105k miles on it and runs likes its bran new! Have you had your trans inspected? I heard somewhere your suposed to get them inspected every 50k or maybe filter adn fluid? i personaly havnet had mine tranny inspected, but you might wnat ot check your fuild level. I was having that problem on my 83 monte carlo awhile back. 97 Mystquie GS - I4 ATX died at 168K 94 Pontiac Crap AM SE - 2.3L I4 5spd 2002 Mazda Protege5 - 2.0L ATX

I should have gone with the old adage... "If it ain't broke, don't mess with it" '97 Mercury Mystique GS (Not mine anymore...) Now running a Toyota Matrix XR Red, 16" wheels, Sunroof, VVT-i
