i have a 94 ford escort gt with a 4eat transmission. when i put the vehicle in gear i have to rev it up to get it to move. after getting it moving it shifts hard and doesn't seem to down shift into first. on the highway when you put it to the floor it down shifts then up shifts quickly then downshifts again. had the trasmission rebuild 5000 kms ago and the fluid smells and looks new still. hope you can give me some ideas. thanx Dave

Hey 94,
I would have to recommend you contact the shop that rebuilt the tranny and get some warranty info and see what they can do for you. Let us know!
