i dont know but its not from sitting for 3 years mine was sitting for 5-6 years and olny 380$ in parts
Depends on the engine the Park Avenue had in it.
reverse kills engine
Two for tranny and two for engine.
the synchros could be out in the transmission where it won't engage reverse. i believe that the check engine light may activate if there is a transmission issue. unfortunately, you will have to take it in for diagnosis.
Change your transmission oil it happen to me . And have your mechanic check the transmission you might have metal shavings in the transmission which is really bad.
If a Lincoln LS V8 is making a engine noise when it is shifted into drive or reverse, it could indicate a seized gear in the transmission. It could also indicate a low transmission fluid warning.
sounds like the auto transmission has a fault
unhook everything on your engine and take your engine and tranny off the chassie. Then you remove the entire engine and tranny combo from your van. empty the transmission oil and undo the bolts connecting the transmission to the engine. The do it all in reverse and add new transmission fluid and whatever else fluid you had to empty to get your engine tranny combo out.
You can spend more on an engine, but both can be expensive. There is no way to guess which is going to cost more. Some engine repairs can be as little as $100 and some transmission repairs can be $3,000 and the reverse is true.
Imagine yourself sitting on the transmission. Left is what is on your left.
It is bolted on the left hand side (sitting in the drivers seat) of the engine.
mostlikly one of the engine or transmission mounts have separated from the rubber causeing exxesive engine movement from the torque or reverse whitch is the lowest gear ratio
