2002 Mustang V6 3.8. 79k Miles.
changed coil pack, leads and spark plugs already.
Automatic transmission
(recently changed engine mounts and transmission mounting)

My trans has trouble changing gears into 3 or 4, it revs up and finally changes. It is not like a slip, all other gear seem to work fine. Sometimes letting up on gas will allow a change, and then drives ok.

accelerating hard (foot to floor) causes the engine/ transmission to stutter when it needs to change gear. happens at 140 kph (90 mph) each time or at 80 khp (50 Mph) when auto trans should change gear. again, letting up slightly on the gas allows gear to change.

this is driving me crazy as i do not know what to do to rectify the problem. all suggestions/ tips welcome.

thanks guys!

 

Get it to a good tranny shop ASAP.

 

Thanks Frostbyte.

i was hoping for a little bit more substantial rather then refer to the shop asap. the UAE isnt exactly renown for its mechanical prowess.

i'm hoping it may be something i could try to fix (aka eliminate the problem myself) before resorting to a dealership and the extortionate Bill that will undoubtedly accompany the visit.

 

Unfortunately its one of those "not user serviceable" parts and the only way to save $$ is get it to a pro before unrepairable damage is done.

YIKES, I see your in Saudi. The best I can say that u can do on your own then is to change filter/screen and flush tranny fluid.
