If your 1998 Ford Contour is shifting at high RPM, it could be due to several factors, including low Transmission Fluid, a malfunctioning throttle position sensor, or issues with the transmission itself, such as worn clutches or bands. Additionally, if the engine is not producing enough power or there are problems with the vacuum lines, the transmission may not shift properly. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to identify the specific cause and avoid further damage.

Do you have to shift a 1988 Yamaha 350 warrior with the clutch or do you shift on the go?
no you have to use the clutch if not it will take a toll on the clutches I have owned a warrior for over 5 years and never changed the clutches in it and I shift on the go. Mine won't let me shift in a higher gear if I don't have the RPM's. Maybe I am lucky, or maybe if the RPM's are high enough it won't hurt them.

What is wrong with a 1987 ford F150 if it starts to shift at a very high rpm?
I would start by looking for worn vacum line to modulator. Or the modulator could be bad. the modulator is located on the transmission which tells the transmission to shift when the vacum pulls a diaphragm inside the modulator a certain distance. some are adjustable with a flat blade screw i believe.
