automatic transmission shifting problem

Sent to Car Experts August 21, 2004 9:13 a.m.

1997 Mecury, Sable SG, 6 cyl. ft. wheel drive...automatic trans. shifts really hard into 2nd gear..all other shifts are smooth. could this be a sensor causing the problem? if so..which one?
I have replaced the trans. screen....still rough shifting into 2nd gear.

It could be one of two things. Either the accumulator spring has broken ( common on these transmissions )or the clutch packs are that worn that the pressure has to get up high enough to shift. Either way the unit has to be removed and rebuilt.
