i have a 2000 taurus with about 130k on it. You own a Ford... That's your problem right there 
i think i might need a new transmission). when i speed up after braking, it feels like it doesn't catch and then it jumps forward. i'd say it's the 1st to 2nd transition, but it's an automatic so i have no idea). Yes, I think your diagnosis sounds accurate, given the not catching and sudden, jerking or lurching forward when it finally does catch (not that I am a greasemonkey by any stretch).
my dear future father in law suggested we change the spark plugs, which has probably never been done. but. i don't anticipate this actually doing much. Yeah, I don't either, since spark plugs help turn the car on, not help the engine change gears. But, if you have 130k on it and you suspect that its never been changed since it rolled out of the factory, its probably a good idea to get them switched out. Its relatively cheap. Can't say the same for the tranny though. That is a nightmarishly, hellish undertaking and it costs a lot. I once changed out a tranny to try and save money, but I payed for it in time. Consequently, it was on a Taurus that I too once owned. Go figure. Got any grease monkey friends who can help you out? "It is better to shun the bait, than struggle in the snare." -Ravi Zacharias
