I have a 1998 Contour, 2.5L, auto trans, 90,000 miles. Only when cold, at crusing speed (60 mph or so) it will suddenly shift from 4th to 3rd, then return to 4th, for no appearant reason. When warm it's OK. No other symptoms. Anyone have any ideas?

When's the last time the fluid and filter were changed? How's the condition and level of the fluid?
Barring that, sounds like internal failure. These Contours have some issues with the trannies as I recall. You can check www.alldata.com for any bulletins or issues that pertain to it.

The trans started acting up regularly about 3 weeks ago. Stored codes were for the gear selector and the vehicle speed sensor. I changed both (although it seemed odd to have two at once, but it needed to be fixed) and the problem is now gone.
