Whats wrong with my cars tranmission?

[omega366]

I drive a 94 Ford Tempo with 82000 miles. Everytime it down shifts at around 40mph, the car jerks a little and it slows down with the feeling like the brakes are being applied lightly. Feels like the transmission is dragging and slow the car down. Anyone have any idea with is causing this??

Forget its a Tempo for a second. What would cause the transmission to do this to any car??

You got a tranmission where you should have a tranSmission those tranmissions never work right!

 

[deftron]

Have you checked the ATF level? According to the owner's manual.

Check the transmission fluid level and color..if it's smells burned, then it might be a sign of something serious....might be time to change it and the transmission filter as well. I did this on my '93 Camry - it was nasty in there with all the friction plate material in the bottom of the pan. Be sure to clean the pan and magnets too. After doing this, it shifts as smooth as the day I drove it off the lot. :thumbsup:

your tranmission is slipping. take it to AAMCO.

sounds like it's stuck in second gear
and it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

or even your year.

You have two things to worry about:

1. It's a Ford.

2. It's a Tempo

Yeah, since the car's only 11 years old, it still ought to be totally trouble free! :roll:

• Harsh 3-2 Downshift
  1. Direct clutch drum damaged.
  2. Intermediate band misadjusted.
  3. Intermediate servo assembly piston, servo, or spring damaged or wrong part used in rebuild.
  4. Main control assembly gaskets damaged or bolt out of torque.
  5. Main control separator plate damaged.
  6. Main control solenoid stuck or damaged.
