i have a 96 automatic. many people are telling me that my problem sounds like the transmission. basically what my car is or isnt doing i should say is not going when i step on the gas. the car revs up for a moment brfore going anywhere. mostly happens when im taking off from a stop. i also hear another noise, not quite a whine but something similar when i step on the gas coming from around the bottom of the engine. finally, i can feel a knocking on the underside when im driving. anyone know whats causing all or some of this.
transmission slipping?

I can't get it up......ok that didn't sound right.
How are the shifts ? Do you have any shuddering when taking off from a light or during shifts ? By shuddering, I mean the rear wheels jerking like they just went across rail-road tracks.

Have you gotten the o/d light on the dash to flash yet ?
If your car went up to 4k rpms at 60mph and then finally came back down after a while, that means the 3-4th shift was late. Which means your o/d servo is probably failing. Its typical in high performance o/d autos. Be prepared to buy yourself a rebuild kit for the transmission and this time, throw a transmission cooler in there.

I had a similar problem with my contour. It would make funny noises and shift ramdomly and even rev out of gear sometimes. Turns out it was my speed sensor. They are only on automatics and are used to relay info to the computer about your speed so that it knows when to shift based on your speed.
