Hello Everyone,
Need some advise, about a month ago now I picked up a 1998 SE wagon 208,185 km on it. I am have a AT problem not right away but when the engine gets up to temp it will shift it's self from drive to overdrive and at higher speed when it is in overdrive it will shift back and forth drive overdrive. This has been slowly going on for about a week seemed to start after I did an engine shampoo so I thought it could be electrical there is a module on the top of the trainee that the shifter linkage goes to not sure the exact name of it but I sprayed all the wires to the trainee with the magical WD-40 it did work fine for a time but seems to be acting up again. This might happen going one way but coming back from were ever I go it might not so it is intermittent. This is my 1st Escort and would like to fix it myself I enjoy working on cars but not looking to do a trainee job. I have had many Tempos that I have changed trainees in and not looking to do one on this car.
Please Help
Does this sound like a problem someone will know the cure for ?
