Transmission problem
1993 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
My 1993 Escort made an hour trip and when it slowed down it stopped. I had it towed in to keep from doing further damamge and spoke with a local mechanic who advised me to changethe filter and fluid and see if it would help. He also suggested a titanium blend be added but I haven't yet purchsed that...However after the fluid and filter change it seems better but I don't think it is changing into 3rd gear..I haven't firven it over 45 MPH..it has cold start and I have to put it in low to get it back down there.could it be the range sensor or something else. I just can't see putting a $1500 rebuild into a $500 car. Any suggestions, mechnaic suggeted getting it scanned...does it have a computer?
