Hi Guys,
A couple years ago, I took my car to get some work done which included rebuilding the transmission (because it was shot). I already had a shift kit in it and I asked the guys to keep the shift kit on (even brought them the box with the instructions and parts they had replaced). When I got the transmission back, it didn't work properly. When I slap her in Drive, I'm able to go through all the gears. But when I come to a complete stop, it doesn't shift back down to 1st gear. I have to put it in Neutral and then back Drive in order to get her back to 1st gear.
I took her back to the shop a couple times but they were never able to fix it. Due to the recession, I stopped driving the Cougar for a couple years, but I finally got some stability and decided to re-vive her. The shop I took her to is no longer in business (go figure). Any ideas of what this could be? She drives fine otherwise.
