Transmission problem
1997 Ford Contour 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The transmission is slow to upshift from 2nd to 3rd, and will not shift into overdrive. At about 62 mph, the OD light starts flashing (almost like limp-in mode).
OD light resets after shutdown, and speedo works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you sure its shifting to second? Sounds like 2-4 band broken and it is shift 1-3 and no second or fourth.
