Ford Contour Ford Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.

Default 1995 ford contour GL transmission problem

My 1995 ford contour GL automatic can only drive in 3rd gear only, no reverse gear also. Does it need a tranny rebuilt or can it be repaired without taking out the whole transmission? Help please !!

The ford dealer diagnostic test result is as follow: Trans slip DTC's in 2nd and 4th. Transaxle has internal hydraulic/ mechanical failures.

Error Code from Code reader: 646 -incorrect gear ratio 2nd gear. 648 -incorrect gear ratio 4th gear.

Hate to tell ya, sound like a rebuild. I would suggest adding an external trans cooler and flushing the fluid every 30k AT LEAST.
