check to make sure its the tranny. cougars have problems with the transmission sensor which can cause it to buck or feel like its grabbing gears at the wrong time. a whole tranny replaced with labor about $700-$1400 depending on where. sensor with labor $250-$780ish id say
the transmission has to be spit apart in order to change the trans filter.
yes
it might mean you need to have your transmission replaced, ive got a 2002 cougar 35th and it has 80,000 miles and doesn't do any jerking of any kind
$1100 to $1400
Manual transmissions dont use fluid, they use a kind of grease.

You don't. This is not a DIY repair. Working on the SRS can be very hazardous and is best left to a professional.
