Replying to: sts_endeavour (Jul 15, 2008 3:34 pm) A set of Michelins is in your future. Our Town Car has the Michelin X and the T Bird has the Michelin Hydroedge. Both tires carry cars with over 111,150 miles on them & they are smooth and vibration free.

Replying to: deangelotl (May 17, 2008 6:30 am) Is the bolt you found a "Torx" or "star" shaped drive? It is possible that the 2 bolts that retain the shifter cable linkage bracket at the back of the steering column have come loose, and one of them fell out. Simply reinstall them with blue loctite thread locker and the correct Torx bit driver and rachet. If the bolts are verified loose, this will cause multiple concerns with the trans linkage and your ability to put the trans in park. Good luck!! (an easy repair, if you have the correct bit and a flashlight) Just follow the shifter cable up the column, be sure to set the vehicles parking brake and be on a flat, level surface. It couldnt hurt to block your tires as well!! Replies to this message: datadown (Nov 02, 2008 3:23 pm)
#67 of 87 differentials by sts_endeavour Aug 21, 2008 (12:11 pm)
My poor cars rear diff spews silvery grey goo It's all too evident what I need to do. I open my wallet to part with my money, My mechanic smiles and says "Thanks again, sonny!" But before I do, I come before you, and hopefully will walk away with a clue. How much cash will I need in hand before I go to mechanicland for a shiney new differential, and some fresh fluid too so my car won't spew that silvery grey goo?   (in regards to a 05 Grand Marquis LS)

Replying to: fordtransman (Jul 16, 2008 7:12 pm) fordtransman,   My shifter was loose on my 92 Grand Marquis so today I went under the dash and found the two torx bolts you talked about. They were lose so I tightened them as best I could without the correct torx driver. In looking for the correct size of these bolts I found your post. Do you know the size? My biggest is T20, way too small.   Thanks
#69 of 87 Shifting Problems by puccaducc Jan 10, 2009 (6:24 am)
I have a 92' Ford Crown Vic and just recently, I noticed that my car has started tripping! It gets first and second gear fine but it hesitates and sometimes never gets out of second gear. It's an automatic transmission of course, and before I let a mechanic rape me and tell me I need all this unnecessry stuff...I wanted to get some advice on what I should try to do. I was going change the filter and fluid, but I just wanted to get some advice on the matter first.

#70 of 87 System Suggestions by puccaducc Jan 10, 2009 (6:37 am)
I'm trying to see what would sound good as far as a system to put in my 92' Ford Crown Vic. I was just trying to see if there was anyone out there that had my type of vehicle and had a nice sounding system that could give me some ideas as far as what size speakers, what type, and how to set up the system. Hit me up with some suggestions please!

Replying to: puccaducc (Jan 10, 2009 6:24 am) The car's mileage? Recommend you change the transmission & torque converter fluid and filter. Replies to this message: puccaducc (Jan 10, 2009 2:16 pm)

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 10, 2009 10:30 am) I kinda figured and hoped that was the problem. I bought it from a place and I said that I probably needed to go ahead and change the filter and fluid anyway but you just gave me confirmation as to what I was thinking. I just drove it again a while ago and it was shifting into 4th gear a little hesitantly but it was shifting so that's a good thing I guess. Thanx for the input

Replying to: puccaducc (Jan 10, 2009 6:24 am) You should first check if the overdrive (if is equipped) is not disengaged. If working correctly, the overdrive mode will shift first through third gears and then into overdrive. If, on the steering wheel stalk (on the right side of wheel) is depressed, then overdrive has been de-activated and a light denoting this (usually in green) should be displayed on the dash, indicating OD/OFF. It is possible that you are in OD/OFF Mode, and perhaps it is malfunctioning. Good luck diagnosing.   Sincerely, The Legendary Danny O'Doul Replies to this message: euphonium (Jan 11, 2009 6:55 pm) puccaducc (Jan 12, 2009 7:20 am) euphonium (Jan 12, 2009 10:18 am) puccaducc (Jan 13, 2009 8:54 am) and 3 more...
