But since he drives an automatic, do we need a sub-king as a rep for the Manual owners? Will the King be fair to us Manual people? After all,we are the minority wierdos.
#11 of 103 Stuff, etc. by ls1bmw0 Jan 27, 2001 (3:15 pm)
stanny1: Since I used to drive manuals exclusively I don't think it will make much difference to me whether the car has an automatic or a manual. The only reason I currently own an automatic is due to the fact that driving in SoCal traffic 110 miles roundtrip every day would get old really fast in a manual transmission car. If not for this and the fact that Lincoln didn't see fit to put a manual in the LS-8 I would have bought a manual. And, hey, I'm just as weird as the rest of you!   reneleblanc: For a minute I thought you were giving us a southern greeting! :> Edmunds has been after this discussion board and from the looks of it several others to move over to the Owners Clubs section of Town Hall. The biggest difference between now and then was that before we wouldn't have stayed on the main Sedan topic list. Now we are in both places. I talked to Melissa Adams from Edmunds yesterday as soon as I saw we had been moved. Edmunds goal is to provide additional functionality for groups like ours, such as getting the OEMs more involved(which Lincoln already is), allowing creation of sub-topics (look at the Cougar Support Group), and possibly weekly chats(I know LLSOC already does that). The way it relates to the soon to be trademarked Lincoln LS Owners Club (LLSOC) is that I will be able to put the club logo on this board so people can link to the official LLSOC web site.   I wish they had told us they were doing this before they did it and ask our opinion first. But they decided to do it the same way that they did the software move. So all we can do is make the best of it and use it to best advantage.   Brian

I know that we Manual Owners are not ignored. It's just that we don't have any problems to discuss,like tranny programming,axle and tappet noise,etc. I still want you to be the leader. I don't know anyone with as much energy and enthusiasm as you anyway. Thanks for the newsletter. Just tell me when to send the $30.00!

I'm Brian Gowing and I am the founder of the Lincoln LS Owners Club, LLSOC for short. I have been involved in this forum since Part III. I own a 2000 LS-8, vibrant white, with a build date of 6/1999.   My real job is Director of Information Services for St. John Knits, a high-end ladies clothing manufacturer in Irvine CA. I have a very understanding wife and a precocious little boy.   I have been a Ford man since the first car I owned, which was a 1965 Ford Mustang 289 2 with a four-speed on the floor. Paid $100 for it with Pontiac Firebird bucket seats and a rusted out back floor. Since then I've owned: 1968 Pontiac Ram Air 400 Firebird 1979 Mercury Turbo Capri RS 1985 Mustang GT 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 1991 Ford Bronco 1998 Ford Mustang GT 2000 Lincoln LS-8   Raced the Turbo Capri in Solo II Autocross competition in NJ. Always loved cars, even more so now with the LS.

I'm Joe Milano and have been involved on this board since last May (part V I think). Bought my 2001 LS8 in October 2000.   I can't imagine anyone better to lead this chat than Brian.   My real job is as an Electrical/Manufacturing Engineer and Project Manager for a major military avionics company. I live in Northern NJ. Although I consider myself a car enthusiast, I have never raced, built, or restored one. I've been a Ford man since I started driving... - Several of my father's Crown Vics - 1987 Mark VII LSC - 1992 Mark VII LSC - 2001 LS V8 Sport   I feel that Lincoln has designed the LS just for me since I've been waiting for this type of Lincoln for the past 20 years.

My name is Tom Chernowetz (TOM12253). I came across Edmunds at the end of 1999 while researching my new car purchase. Edmunds and the Town Hall sites became a valuable resource in helping to choose the LS as ultimate selection. I took delivery April 2000 and although I have had more than my share of problems as I have posted in the past I love the LS for its unsurpassed performance, handling, overall comfort and styling.   I've worked as a service technician for Sears Home central for the past 28 years. Before that I worked as a mechanic at a Chevy dealership.   I have owned a wide variety of vehicles and a few motorcycles the latest being a Goldwing. Since getting married and having two children in the 80's I had to put the idea of owning my dream car on the back burner. Till now!   1959 Chevy Impala 1963 Buick Riviera 1967 VW Beetle 1973 VW Super Beetle 1974 Fiat 124 Spider 1976 Old Cutlass Supreme 1978 VW Scirroco 1984 Ford F150 pickup 1990 Toyota Camry 2000 Lincoln LS Sport   I would like to thank all the LS owners and Lincoln staff who post here for their helpful Knowledge support and camaraderie
#16 of 103 I'm Here by mkovalsk Jan 29, 2001 (5:08 pm)
My name is Mark Kovalsky. I've been here almost since the start.   My job is supervisor, Car Calibration Section, 5R55 Transmission Systems, Ford Motor Company. The 5R55N is the automatic transmission used in the Lincoln LS.   My group is responsible for the calibration of the transmission. The calibration is the software the tells the transmission when to shift, and how that shift is executed.   I don't have a personal LS, but my group has about a dozen, so I drive them very often. We have a few of each flavor, V6 and V8, Sport and non-Sport.   I have learned many things from this group that we have used in our calibrations. I use this as a means of finding out what our customers think of our products. To that end I really appreciate candid feedback. If you like something about the transmission I want to hear about it. Even more importantly if you DON'T like something about the transmission I NEED to hear about it. Any relevant post is copied and e-mailed to my group.   Mark Replies to this message: dlh2002lse (Aug 23, 2005 6:19 pm) cdnpinhead (Aug 24, 2005 2:46 am) rmcmahon (Apr 21, 2007 10:16 am) cdnpinhead (Apr 21, 2007 12:34 pm) akirby (Apr 21, 2007 1:06 pm) and 2 more... rbard (Jun 27, 2007 8:39 am)
