Sound like you have to much fluid in the trranmission. Remove the pan,
draining the fluid, replace the filter(good idea any way)and refill to
proper level.

Filter is not easily replaceable, requires dismantling the
transmission.

Why the heck did they design it that way?

I had to put my 95 Contour to rest after the *second* tranny failed on me.

I didn't think it was worth rebuilding the tranny, so I upgraded to my
Grand Marquis.
