95 Escort Tranny Question

Jan 28, 2005 4 Replies

Hi, I have to rev up the engine to around 4-5 k before the car will shift into 2nd gear, then it works alright. I've heard it's a speed senser problem, anyone else heard this or know about the problem. Really apreciate your time. I don't want to spend $1,500 if I don't have to. Thanks Roger

Any OTHER symptoms, of ANY abnormal operation?

Starting, idling, stalling, cruise problems?

Hi thanks for your replies

Turns out, the cable from the back of the seedometer was not hooked up to the (speed sensor) I'm not sure if it's called that, but any ways it was the problem. Thanks again
