Trany Issue

Lately my trany has been acting a little bit funny. Lets say I'm at a dead stop and decide to gun it.

I would damn near redline in first gear if I dont let off the gas, then it would changes gears. It been like this maybe for about a 2 months now. Anybody know what the problem is?

Sounds like accumulator and spring need replaced. Have you done the J mod yet? Is your tranny filter the original, and are you running Mercon V.

"I would damn near redline in first gear if I dont let off the gas, then it would changes gears. It been like this maybe for about a 2 months now"

Are you trying to say that it WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS if you hadn't taken your foot off the gas?

pretty much. if i held it down any longer, it would redline. this only happens in first gear.

This car is definately running mercon 5 now. I think you need to take it to have tranny service done at the local Ford dealer. It has been a year now since the transmission was rebuilt. That is what needs to be done next.

Have you checked your fluid level "hot"?
