Your '01 Lincoln Town Car might not shift gears because it is low on Transmission Fluid or because the transmission is damaged.
vacuume solenod rear of trans
it could be the shift linkage being that both gears over there wont work
fluids are fine, no codes, and it wont shift past 2nd gear. any help?
Change the transmission fluid and filter may help problem if not may have to have transmission rebuilt
I had the same problem. I found that my 2nd and 4th gears were worn to the point of non existance.
Is it an automatic or standard? automatic and fluid is not pumping when engine is running
im having the same problem now as we speak. i was told it was the shift solenoid located in the transmission.
Stick shift or automatic? any other gears work?
did the clutch cable come off? (if its a manual) that or there is a problem with the transmission.
You should check for codes first. it is an electronic transmission and changes gears based on information received from various sensors. If the throttle position sensor is bad, it will not shift gears correctly. mine wouldn't shift into second until 30 mph and wouldn't shift into 3rd until 55 mph.
my lincoln town car started with not going into park and now it wont go in reverse what is wrong and how do i fix it
On my 1994 there is a button in the end of the gear shift arm. This turns off the overdrive and the dash says "Overdrive Off" above the odometer and gas mileage messages. Other than that, I don't know.
