for the RPM's shooting up i'd think it'd be a sensor problem or computer problem..it's getting a false reading from a sensor, rev's to compensate?? i'm not sure... i'd find a nice Ford tech and ask him...

ya probably a sensor problem if the rpm's are up and down, i think we have talked about this problem before here....any way, maybe your IAC????? try cleaning that..good luck.

finally found out what it was. my third gear is completely gone so now its either time for a rebuild or a 5-speed swap.

Mustang 101

UUUU... ya Ithink I know the problem Im not sure of a simple fix cuz my bro owns a probe GT and his tranny did the same and one day it stopped going into third and we found out that that gear cracked and he ended up getting a new tranny. so I would recomend taking it in cuz yes its probably the worst and easiest to get it fixed profesionally. I see u found the problem it was the same as my bro's its a pain but get a manual swap its worth it :thumb1:
