| Description of the problem | Car always shifted hard at 2500 rpm's. But got progressively worse. Took to wayne lincoln mercury (where i had purchased the car new) they tested the car and said nothing was wrong. Brought car back at about 53,000 miles with same complaint they said it was a motor mount. Had it checked at local garage they said motor mount was fine. Power train warning light came on trans started to slip trans fluid almost black. Car had extended warranty but dealer refused to honor because car didn't have 70,000 mile servicing done. Took to local trans shop transmission completely rebuilt car was fine for two weeks. Power train light came on trans started to slip brought car back. They rebuilt trans again.
