Ford EscortFord Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.
I bought an escort with the auto transmission and 1.9 engine about two months ago. Recently, it has been having problems upshifting. It would usually clear up if I pulled over and waited a minute or two and was usually in the morning. The fluid reads too high on the dipstick but looks o.k. Is it possible that the filter is clogged and that is why the fluid is reading too high? I just bought the car and never checked the fluid so the previous owner may have overfilled. I plan on changing it this weekend. I drove it today and it was o.k. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
