OK new to the forum and thanks guys for any feedback.
But I have this exact issue i found on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fc_K9zNzeA

I took it to the dealership and they changed the spark plugs and airfilter hooked it up to the computer to see what error codes ( none showed ) and gave me a bill for it being repaired. Yet I have the issue 2 days later and now worse ( exactly like the video )

So first what is causeing this and how do I actually fix it

cheers

i had the same problem with my zx3 2000 btw its the valvebody in the tranny you probably have a clogged solenoid its not getting enough fluid pressure in the solenoid thats why its slipping i just saved money up and got the lentech valve body with all new soloniods but i tuned my car before i did that and just raised the pressure going in to 3rd gear because thats the gear it slipped for me

Hmm, I'm not sure why it disconnected you. Sorry about that! Please keep me updated on your dealer's diagnosis.

Thanks!

Hi Natasha,

So I brought the car back in and they are verifying the issue has not worsened by what they did at my last visit.

My understanding is there is a 100KM powertrain and i should be covered for this issue on my car as i am at 91k

But i feel like i spent 500+$ for nothing on my last visit.

I'm pleased to hear you may still be under warranty. Try adding a 1 (1-800-565-3673) to see if that helps you reach Ford of Canada. If not, PM me the details, along with your VIN, contact information, mileage, & servicing dealer name/location and I'll see how I can help. Thanks for your patience!
