What's it usually mean when your transmission keeps shifting too early.. I gotta pretty much put the gas all the way down to make it go through the gears sometimes it goes 1st 2nd 3rd so fast my cars not going fast enough to handle being in the higher gear and it'll start shaking. Also every time I co.e to a stop it about dies like you did when you were learning to drive a stick and you let the clutch out too fast

I suspect there may be a speed sensor problem and this would need to be verified before spending any $$$ needlessly on just a guess.
If for instance the trans and powertrain modules are getting a speed reading that is too high , the system could react to that and skip to the higher gears.

Hey so I have a 2002 3.0 2 wd escape and I had a problem with the shift solenoid pack electrical connector ( wiring harness side not the solenoid side) for some reason it wouldn't go down far enough for me to get the retaining clip.long story short I had connection issues ( transmission issues ) worked for a good 2 months ,got another transmission from the junkyard put it in and it wasn't shifting all the way down to 1 and it wasn't shifting all the way up to OD so I drove it for a day then I remembered the electrical issue then I replaced the Connector, checked my pin outputs with volt meter good on that and transmission won't go into any gear at all . Now I've changed out solenoid pack with an extra used one I had in my garage and still nothing. Can the transmission be shot from driving it like that for 1 day, and without making some kind of noise or hard shifting or anything? I'm not trying to do the swap out again unless I have to is there something that could still be an issue ? Transmission quality issue maybe ? Or would cleaning the solenoid pack help?
