Replying to: gseterry (Jul 31, 2009 3:46 am) When you Town Car was bucking and jerking did your computer send the service engine warning to the display panel? If so, why could you not take a basic code reader and retrieve the codes which in your case would indicate misfire at #5 and #7?

Replying to: chowdhurynyc (Jun 01, 2008 3:47 pm) Have your ignition COP (Coil Over Plug) coils checked. #5 and #7 are notorious for failing first. The miss will drive the trans computer NUTS. I took my 94K mile - 99 TC in for trans work with this SAME problem. Lucky the trans shop is owned by a TRUE friend / REAL HONEST businessman. Tested all 8 with a spritz bottle of Windex. Just sprayed on top (where the epoxy seals it) of each coil. He only replaced the 2 bad (#5 & #7) coils $50 each (from NAPA) installed, instead of all 8. BTW: Its a $480+ job at the dealer for all 8. THEY don't want to just replace the 1 or 2 bad ones. Runs smooth as silk ever since. Note also the factory recomended trans fluid and SCREEN clean and change on a TC is 90K miles. A GOOD trans shop should also do any Ford recomended trans & valve body field upgrades out there at the same time too. Mine didn't need them because of the trans working perfect, so they (and the fluid change) weren't done. I'm at 124K today and still one happy smooth TC Owner.

Replying to: gseterry (Aug 20, 2009 3:50 am) Hate to sound like a real novice but there's no way around it. What do you mean by coils and where can I find them. Having the same issue - as the car warms up it gets jerky, before I get the transmission checked I would like to explore the whole "coil" thing.   Thanks in advance!

Replying to: novice25 (Aug 21, 2009 8:34 am) Take a look at the engine and you will notice that you don't see the spark plugs. The spark plugs, however, are there. The enigne in gseterry's car has a coil, a black round item, on top of each spark plug. His engine also does not have tradidional spark plug wires.

Replying to: jimbo369 (Aug 23, 2009 6:51 pm) Before going for a new transmission, have the torque converter clutch solenoid and the shift solenoids replaced. Cleaning the MAS sensor as a routine maintenance item is a good idea but it will not stop the dreaded Ford transmission shift shudder.

Replying to: ks153nt (Jun 12, 2008 1:54 am) Hi   Am having vibration/shudder problem with my 1999 Town Car (89,000 miles) , exactly as you desribed in June, 2008. Was it a torque converter clutch problem? My independent repair shop suggests same. What was cost to repair? Thanks. Replies to this message: jimbo369 (Sep 07, 2009 7:54 am)

Replying to: wnw (Sep 06, 2009 7:08 am) my mechanic which basiclly just works on towncars said it doesn't pay and just put a rebuilt trans in cost $800 time 4 hours problem solved. good luck.

I recently picked up a 2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature ..60,000 klms . This is the first time I have owned a Lincoln so I am not sure what to expect. Is there any of you that can save me a buck by enlightening me as to what to watch for driving this model and year .. so far it the nicest ride I have owned !

Replying to: 69novaman (Nov 05, 2009 9:42 pm) Reading the Owner's Manual is a very good start. Reading the Maintence Schedule booklet is also recommended.   Recommend Mobil 1 for the engine. If you just got the car, check all fluids for quality and quantity. The engine coolant will need to be replaced now if it hasn't been. Air filter?
