That's the pump, it's not actually a recall just a tsb so they don't advertise that there's actually a problem with the pump. I believe that the tsb was only for 2000 and 01 zetec.

One question I haven't seen asked yet, auto or manual tranny? I had a problem with my shift linkage in my auto tbird and it did the exact same thing as you're describing. It would shift properly and wouldn't downshift and if I punched it, the motor would try to rev out but get held back by the trans and make a helluva noise, scared the s*** out of me the first time it happened. On the tbird it was a pretty quick and inexpensive fix, had to replace the downshift cable, iirc, it cost around the $120 range.
