| I have a 95' Mercury Cougar XR-7, V8, 4.6L RWD and it needs a new transsmission. i was wondering if I could give it a 5-speed manual, instead of a 4-speed automatic like it had before? Is it possible to do that? If so, would the dealership do it, or do I have to find some tranny machanic? Please reply ASAP with any thoughts that might help! | |

big YES to this problem -- to me seems related to being warmed up - 10 mi plus ride , doesn't do it just going to work in morning.--- going steady 70 mph , every 4 or 5 mi. , car will jerk / shutter , the engine tach will jump from about 2800 to 4000 rpm, sometimes even 5000 - like the trans can't select correct gear . . . .usually will be fine for 3 or 4 mile, then jerk 2 + times ,HARD jerks, then be OK again for a bit. after a longish drive , will even do it at slower speeds , so -- is this related to warm up ??? not warm weather but engine /trans heat ? the engine gauge stays 'N' . . . does the transm. oil cooler have a thermostat or some such ? new fuel filter. new trans oil, took it too 2 shops didn't find anything. even tried unplug, wait an hour , re plug main battery ( owners man. says the engine computer will relearn.?) note there are 2 service notes about ' reprograming Auto trans control module . . . |
