Transmission

Hi, I have a 99' Contour with the four banger and automatic trans. The trans is starting to slip and I want to know if anyone knows the proper procedure to adjust the bands.

I don't think your contour has any adjustment regarding "bands". Your tranny is new tech, and likely needs to be checked at a dealer (Gasp) prepare to part with a lot of bucks, the electronic analysis on our 94 stang was over $150.00 Cdn. If you know of a reliable tranny shop, I'd suggest you have them road test it for ya. And as I think of it have you checked the level lately? Sounds simple, but you'd be suprised at how many people don't and the first sign of low fluid is often slippage.

Just in case you live near here ( alberta canada) I have a auto out of a 95 contour with a 2.0 sitting on my garage flor.( have that too) they have about 60K on them. I'll sell it very cheap.
