I had the same problem in my 95 Lincoln continental and it was solved instantly by replacing the transmission mounts. I haven't had a problem since.

It needs to have the transmission rebuilt. Take it to a pro, this is no job for n00bs. Will cost from $900 to $2900 depending on the job you have done, you do get what you pay for though. I was told it is far better to have your existing tranny rebuilt by a qualified mechanic than to have a drop in rebuilt tranny put in. Apparently the rebuilders recycle parts like mad and I have been told by a mechanic that the drop in ones sometimes are worse than the ones they removed from the car to begin with, so bear that in mind when making your choices.
Have it rebuilt.
No. Type F and mercon have different friction factors. The only acceptable time to substitute one for the other is if you have had a transmission rebuilt and the mechanic recommends it.
The torque convertor acts as an automatic clutch for the transmission. If you are replacing the transmission, I would recommend replacing the convertor too, especially if the trans fluid is burnt or contaminated. If you have a manual transmission, run, there is no torque convertor :)
It is a transmission that was broken,but is now fixed with new parts.
reverse gear going out is a good indication the rest will go out soon. yes you need to change entire transmission, or have your transmissin rebuilt. a mechanic will not just rebuild reverse .it will be complete rebuild or replacement
You can find rebuilt diesel engines for sale at local garage sales. You can also go to the car dealership to see if they have anything that they will not need. Also, visit the local mechanic to see if there are scrapped parts they are willing to sell you.

The transmission could have been rebuilt improperly, or the linkage could have been reinstalled incorrectly.
No, thay have never made anything in a can that will fix something. If you add stop leak to your transmission it will mess up the seals and you will have to have the transmission rebuilt. It would be best to just fix the leak and a whole lot cheaper.
it is cheaper to buy a rebuilt transmission than to have one rebuilt
