My check transmission indicator is coming on in my 2002 lincoln LS it's hesitant to go in reverse, and drive, as well rams to 3rd before it shifts. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! Just to remind, it does not have a dip stick.

Change Transmission filter every 80,000 miles first too avoid cavitation of hydraulic pump.........

Inspection is required.

This will help.

Thanks.

wear in the servo bores of the transmission. time for a major repair.

so, what make, model and year? It would help.

You need a new Trans Control Solenoid--one unit with all 3 pressure control and 4 shift solenoids, in one unit.
Remove trans pan,gasket reusable,remove filter,remove 7 torx screws and one 10mm wire harness connector bolt,then pull down old solenoid pack.

Part # 9L2Z7G391A 515.30 list/332.20 cost at trans supply house

Do Not Go to a Dealer,unless your Warren Buffet or Bill Gates

Change the fluid a couple more times, after installing the new solenoid pack, and driving a couple weeks with no issues. Add a bottle of Red Lubgard, to your Mercon V Trans Fluid, at the last fluid change

Also--pull injector fuses,crank over engine, and flush Power Steering Fluid. (Dex/Merc Fluid)

Welcome to the current world of computer controls. Unless it never did this for a couple years your stuck like I am ,with a 6 year old lincoln LS. 46 years experience and I can't help on this one. You may want the dealer to check for a computer update. Have them run the VIN# and check for you

check your transmission checked

sounds like tranny computer is bad take it to a grage and have a computer put on it cost about $50.00 to do this

You will have to have the solenoid body replaced in the tranny and have the PCM reprogrammed.
