If you bought an extended warranty, I think you need to call the people you bought the car from and tell them what's happening, was it a Dealer or private sale? If it was a dealer, let them look at it first. I would take it to either a Ford dealer or good transmission shop, they do these all day long and can tell you if it's a simple, or complex problem.
