Hi. I have a high mileage 96 ford contour. drives very nice. but last week for the first time ever, after i was out driving for half hour, the engine suddenly reved (as if it slipped from gear) and then there the car shot forward as it made loud clunk noise. I was almost home and it did not do it again that day. next day i had only small errands in low speed limit areas and had no problems. i stopped and had transmission fluid changed. ran fine afterward. but today, again after half hour driving, it repeats the same rev, lunge clunk sequence. Ideas?

Did you check the transmission fluid again. You could have a major leak. Or reving the car up so high it started to burn the clutches in your transmission, resulting in replacing the transmission. Always check the fluid. A few dollars for fluid is better than 1500 bucks for a new tranny

tell your mechanic to replace the fuel filter. This part is usually less than $10. It should be replaced aout every 50K miles.
