The transmission forks are possibly bent or worn. If the forks are giving a problem then the transmission will have to be rebuilt or replaced.
Shift solenoids are found on the transmission of the 1998 Honda Passport. The shift solenoids allow for smooth operation of the transmission when passing through the gears.
An automatic transmission modulator is the device that decides when your vehicle should shift. It basically controls and regulates pressure for smooth operation of the automatic transmission.
TCM, is the Transmission Control Module. It controls automatic transmission shift points, etc.
If it is just the shifter, try to remove the bolts at the top of shifter (UNDER RUBBER BOOT) to realign shift forks and free transmission.
Damaged/broken shift forks
If the Contour is a manual transmission, they are the same except for the flywheel. A swap would be straightforward. The real weaknesses in the MTX-75 transmission are the Differential and the shift forks. There are aftermarket available for the differential and upgraded shift forks can be had from Ford for the Focus. The Focus SVT short shifter and an adaptor plate are a nice upgrade too.
Could be a few different things. Bad shift forks would be the most likely culprit if it were a manual transmission. For an auto, probably either a faulty transmission ECM or worn synchronizer gear.
In the trans mission, it MUST be GL-4, NOT GL-4/GL-5 or you will corrode the sychro rings and shift forks. 80W is specified.
there is no fuse that makes the transmission shift the transmission shifts on cylinoids and rpms
Your statement is a little inconclusive. Will the transmission shift when the engine is turned off, but not shift when the engine is running? If it is jammed and refusing to move even with the engine off, the problem will be inside the gearbox and usually related to the selector forks and or rods. If the the problem is there only when the engine is running the problem will be related to the clutch assembly, which is failing to disengage the gearbox from the engine
