My o/d light started flashing, I took it in and paid $300 to flush the transmission. . About 2 weeks later the light came on again, I took it back, they charged $65 more and told me the torque convertor and solenoids were bad. Need to replace whole transmission at about $3000. Happened on my 95 ford probe se also at 62000 miles right before I got in a wreck with it and traded it on this one.
1996 Ford Probe transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gears would shift by themselves, and transmission started to slip and slowly break down.
The transmission was replaced in july 1999, by the dealer. The blue "o/d off" light began blinking today, so I notified the dealer and they informed me that they would only gaurantee the new transmission for 12 months/or 12000 miles. I have approx. 20000 on the new transmission,so they said there would be a srevice charge to look at or repair it. Do you have any information pertaining to any factory defects that covers my problem.

There is a noise coming from the engine and the gears are harder to shift. The 5th gear feels as if in 3rd. Dealer has seen vehicle, and can't find a solution.
While driving the vehicle transmission burnt out, causing the vehicle to stall, in which it almost caused an accident. Currently at the dealer.
Clutch pedal went to the floor and did not come up.
