Every police car has been treated differently & run in a wide variety of ways. When you choose a low KM car, you might be getting one with an engine with lots of hours on it due to long periods of idling. To choose the best, drive them all, but if you do purchase one, change all the fluids including the pinion housing & replace with Synthetics. If you are good at the Casinos, try your luck in Regina.

I would like the default startup condition to be overdrive off and then change that by pressing the OD button. I would always like the startup to be overdrive off just the opposite of the factory setting. Is there a way to do that?

HELLO,THE GRAND MARQUIS ARE BASICLY THE SAME CAR AS THE LINCOLN TOWN CAR....THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THE 10,000 SUSPENSION IN THE TOWN CAR.....IT IS TOTALY DIFFERENT THAN THE MGM...THE MGM HAS A MORE SPORTY SUSPENSION..... USE THE GOODYEAR ''ASURANCE'' 225-60R-16,,,,,IT HANDLES WELL.....SELMA2

When the tranny shifts from 1st to 2nd, it jumps then goes into gear. Do I need a new trans shift sensor or etc solenoid or tcc lock up solenoid?

#98 of 99 shudders w/ light acceleration by gingersnapliz

Oct 07, 2012 (9:15 am)

I hae a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis LS w 168,000 miles. Car usually runs great, avg. 20mpg. Bought car about year and a half ago. Has had occasional light shudder when lightly applying gas between 35/40 mph. Other day did shudder every time a tried to keep steady speed of 55 and higher w light acceleration . Very scary , no shudder with heavy acceleration. Sucks gas when this happens,

Change the transmission fluid & replace with Mercon V. Don't use the forcefull system, but drop the pan and replace the filter. The shudder will not be. It worked for me.
