The problem isn’t with the speedo, it sounds like you have deeper problems inside the transmission. Have an auto trans specialist look at it.

It’s likely to be the gear set that’s causing the noise, have an auto trans specialist drive the car for you for a more exact diagnosis.

Adding cooler to a Ford Fairlane

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 07 Oct 2010

Ford has been using cooler pipes that make it difficult to break into to fit an external cooler, but there's always a way around a problem. Take your car to AW Automatics in Ferntree Gully and have Andrew take a look at it.

BA Fairmont Ghia transmission ECU

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 24 Jul 2015

It sounds to me like a fault with the transmission ECU. By turning the engine off and restarting you are rebooting the computer, which suggests it's a fault with the computer.
