OK, here we go.....(my very first post so please bear w/me)
I have a 96 Continental that decided it doesn't want to go forward or it only creeps while in drive no matter how far the gas pedal is pressed. At first, reverse worked just fine. Now even reverse is a bit sluggish. I REALLY don't think it's the tranmission - perhaps electrical? When I put it in reverse, the sound of changing gears is normal but when I put it in any other gear I hear this plasticish-sounding click from what seems to be underneath the steering wheel. It did something quite similar a few months ago but recovered on its own after about 15 starts and restarts. It also had an electrical problem a few months ago where the blinkers wouldn't work. The mechanic I took it to remedied the problem by leaving the hazard light button pushed down - it makes the blinkers work.
Any ideas from you guys would be GREATLY appreciated.
