trans worn out, get a newer taranny Try running the trouble codes before making exspensive repairs. It may be mass air flow sensor
apply your brakes gently as you accelerate
You could have a slipping clutch which is not transmitting the drive correctly.
Could be: Power steering pump Alternator bearing Water pump Belt tensioner or in drive train
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 :)
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 ...
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 )
No , a 1994 Mercury Cougar is rear wheel drive
Yes , the 1999 Mercury Cougar is FRONT wheel drive
On a Mercury Cougar : ( 1999 to 2002 model years are front wheel drive ) Older model years are rear wheel drive
no it is defently rear wheel ================================================== That would depend on which model year , there have been rear wheel drive and front wheel drive versions of the Mercury Cougar
Ebay, http://www.nextag.com/mercury-cougar-headlights/search-html, or just drive to your ford/mercury dealer.
( No ) a 1995 Mercury Cougar was rear wheel drive * until the 1997 model year they were rear wheel drive also , there was no 1998 model 1999 through 2002 model years were front wheel drive
I have a 2001 Mercury Cougar it goes in reverse and first and second but it wont go in drive when i put it in drive the rpm just go up.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is higher anyway , such as on the highway / freeway
the D refers to drive and the D w/ circle around it refers to overdrive. use drive when driving in the city and use overdrive when traveling on highways and such
Is this a trick question There was no 1998 model year of Mercury Cougar in North America ( up to the 1997 model they were rear wheel drive and the 1999 to 2002 model years were front wheel drive )
check the u-joints in the drive shaft first
