You could have a slipping clutch which is not transmitting the drive correctly.

What causes the non-electronic odometer not to work on a 1992 Cougar when the speedometer still works?

there is no separate drive for the odometer, so it's the gauge... also, everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional manual available...in the reference section, you'll have to make copies of the important sections...good luck :)


If my 96 jeep grand Cherokee V8 shifts good in first and second gear then takes time to shift into drive or overdrive what is the problem?

you might want to change your transmission filter to see if that stops the problem----------whoever changes filter have them check the fluid in pan of transmission to see if its gritty if it is or smells burnt if so your clutches might be slipping hoped this helps I really don't think changing the filter is your problem or you would have no shifting if the filter was clogged, your problem is more the tv cable (throttle valve cable) is out of adjustment, this cable controls the speeds the transmission shifts at. your overdrive is probably working but because the cable is out of adjustment it causes it to shift a lot later take your car or truck to a tranny shop not a mechanic ask him to adjust the tv linkage then drive the car see if it's better more time then not it's that cable ...good luck to you ...

Do you drive with overdrive on or off in your 1999 mercury cougar?

On a 1999 Mercury Cougar : Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( it won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway ) If you find that the transmission is frequently shifting between overdrive and drive ( such as hilly roads ) then it is best to use the transaxle ( transmission ) control switch on the side of your gear shifter to shut off the overdrive ( O/D OFF will appear in your gauge cluster )
