Thanks guys.
I'll keep all that in mind.
I have monitored the VSS signal and it looks very clean and steady.
I'm tapping the TSS this wekend and will monitor for a few driving cycles.
Plus I have this guys used solenoid pack to compare as well.

I should also add that I ran the full set of stall tests and all the pressures passed with flying colors. I have a transducer plugged in the line pressure tap and have been graphing it on my laptop, it looks very good during steady driving and shifts as well. I'm hoping my hunch that the problem lies with shift control is correct.

I've got to bring this problem to a close within a couple of weeks. You see, I liked the Mystique I bought for my daughter so much, that I started shoping for myself and landed a 98.5 Contour SVT off of ebay for $430.00 !!!
Now it's missing wheels, exhaust system, body kit and headlights but I'm very exited about resurrecting this car.
I'll start posting soon in another forum on this one.

Thanks again,
Greg


Bought a 98 Contour SVT off ebay for $430.00 (missing: all lower body panels, entire exhaust, wheels,and headlights) Going through the pains of getting it on the road for my son this spring (2006).
