I have a 99 Merc Mountaineer (Ford Explorer). The truck has 42k miles.

I have a 1995 Ford Windstar 3.6 or is it .8
  The transmission last week started to shift hard and jerk when it went from
1st to 2nd gear. 2nd to 3th shifts fine and overdrive is OK. The fluid level is
OK and the transmission seems fine other than that one problem.

  Everytime I get out of my 02 Taurus and close the door, I get
shocked. I've tried looking in my area auto part store for the
old-fashioned grounding straps (the kind you bolt to the frame and
