Sounds to me like the overdrive in your trans is shot. Not uncommon. I had a '90 T'bird Supercoupe that my wife drove. OD went out on it. Exact symptoms you describe.

OD band is shot. Time for a rebuild.

is it hard to do, expensive?

DEFINETLY DONT DO IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!! Expect about 1500 for a basic rebuild. But while your at it, installa shift kit and a stall to wake it up.

This aint the end of this story.

Have them use a Kevlar OD Band, and red clutches. I dont care if you have to buy the parts and have them install with no warranty.

You dont want to ever go through this again for a very long time.(10 years+).
