Hi,
Have an '01 Escape V6 with automatic transmision problems. Happened soon after changing transmision fluid. Hard engagement from rest, rough
1-2 shift as well. 2-3 and 3-4 shifts ok. 70,000 miles. Dealer service dept. says 'probably an internal seal' whatever that means. Changed fluid, no improvement. If anybody can recommend a good transmission shop in the Nassau/Suffolk county (NY) area, I'd greatly appreiciate it.Thanks!!!
