I have a 2005 ford focus ZXW automatic I just recently purchased, the car originally was fine during test drive and everywhere else, no issues with the transmission fluid, you could tell it wasn't checked recently as far as fluid goes but it was within normal range.
Anyways, a day after buying it, everything works fine in the vehicle, but it started revving up around 3rd gear (getting to about 45mph or so) and take a few moments for it finally shift into gear, it was doing t occasionally, I finished what I had to do that day and came back home, took it back to where I got it from, they replaced the transmission filter and overdrive sensor and replaced the transmission fluid, after that it seemed to be fine when yesterday at about the 250 mile mark t started doing it again only this time it's much more frequent and also doing it at around 10-20 mph, but after that it was fine, re-checked tranny fluid, all good, not burnt or scorched, everything seems fine.
The car seems to not have the issue if I start up in the morning after sitting for a while, but as soon as it heats up a bit it starts or so it seems, may just be a coincidence. Any ideas on what the issue could be? I searched around and have seen numerous threads on here and on other sites suggesting it could be a solenoid, could be the speed sensor, could be this or that. I have no idea really, I don't want to start throwing money into something and just blindly replace things until it works.
