That's Ford, not Microsoft Explorer!
<br /><br />Test driving a '98 2WD V6 automatic w/88k miles, I can hear the transmission, sounds sort of like it's winding down as I coast from maybe 50mph down to 30 or so. Shifts smooth, no sound on acceleration or cruise. It's like the sound a car makes if you downshift to use the engine for braking down a hill, if that makes sense, only not nearly so loud. The A/C blower on high speed practically masks it. It's not enough to be obviously wrong, but it's nagging me a little.<br /><br />I drove a different '98 same drive train about the same mileage, sounded just the same. Does this sound normal? I'm getting this car checked by a mechanic tomorrow, but I sure would like to hear from some owners if they hear this noise.<br /><br />Thanks a bunch,<br />jtw
