Very Heavy trans.. 1. disconnect Battery ground cable. YOU must disconnect the shift linkage, The exuast system, the cooling lines, wires to switches, Remove the drive shaft, remove starter, remove the dipstick tube, Remove all bolts that attach the trans to the engine.. When you take it out trans fluid will be able to spill from rear area where the drive shaft spline is.. i suggest if you are going to remove the trans drain the fluid first.. WHILE YOU HAVE IT OUT REPLACE the filter and rear trans seal. after installation replace fluid with new fluid. I suggest before you try this you buy the Chilton Manual for your car.. Small investment to do it right.. This is a big job for the home mechanic if you do not know what you are doing.
SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION FLUID LOW.TRANSMISSION SLIPPING TRYING TO GO IN DRIVE.CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL. IF LOW ADD FLUID UNTIL YOU REACH FULL MARK ON TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. WITH ENGINE RUNNING A IN OPERATING TEMPERATURE.IF FLUID LEVEL OKAY.CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER IF YOU HAVE NOT CHANGED IN A LONG WHILE.A DIRTY STOPPED UP FILTER WILL CAUSE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP.CANT PICK UP FLUID.
This transmission will use any transmission fluid that is at your local auto parts store. this town cars trans is universal when it comes to the fluid grade.
did you drop the pan replace the filter and add four to five quarts,If still a problem try doing a full transmission flush at a quick lube. A transmission flush with Lucas trans tune up will probably fix your non shift issue, try this first before looking into a new tranny !
Just thought I'd check... Where is the dipstick on a 1989 Lincoln Town Car?
