I need help desperately!
I have a 98 mercury mountaineer and just the other day the tranny wouldn't shift over more than 1 time. (automatic AWD)
It shifts fine and strong the 1st time and then wont shift anymore.
Is it a solenoid issue or what?
The tranny reacts strong otherwise.
I'd hate to run it 5,000 RPM to work

First thing I'd check is your tranny fluid level, there may be enough in there to work into the shift valves initially, but once it distributes there is none left.

Agree - sounds like a solenoid to me.

Don't Do like I did with my CHEV. truck , wait about a week and I had to have the whole trans rebuilt. Don't drive it until fixed.

I could not agree more about that. Transmissions are very expensive as I found out and it is not a fun experience to have your transmission fail as things like that will usually fail at the worst possible time and make it a memorable experience |

I've replaced the solenoids in a Jeep Grand in the past, must be similar, not too difficult but messy as hell.
