Ford Mustang Cobra
Report: Longer Than Usual Shift from First to Second Gear, Harsh Shift
Ford Mustang Cobra Problem
Model Years Affected: 1994, 1995
Drive Train Affected: Automatic Transmission
Verified
An internal transmission issue can cause a longer than normal shift from first to second gear, and it can feel harsh. Premature wear of the accumulator seal from scuffing of the accumulator case bore is the cause, and replacing the 1-2 accumulator spring, seal, and piston will correct this concern.
