I have a 2001 lincoln ls and lately i have noticed that when shifting from the first gears it takes like a second to change gears, also when shifting gears it kind of shakes then it will shift gears. what would the problem be???
Try changing your transmission filter if the problem continues try taking your car to a transmission shop and see what they tell you
However, on a Lincoln site, one person stated:
"I had my tranny fluid changed which made it shift even harder. the mechanic told me to take it to Ford and have them reset the computer. So I pulled the battery cable off for a minute and put it back on to reset the computer. Now the car shifts like it should... Try this first, its free".
On the Lincoln forum, Tom stated, " the Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid Pack needs to be replaced. This seems to be a common issue on the transmission you have. There are 3 pressure control solenoids & 4 shift solenoids in one plastic part ,made by Bosch. You remove the trans pan,the gasket is reuseable silicone You remove the filter, You remove approx 7 -- T30 bolts, holding the solenoid pack & one 10mm electrical connector bolt. HPN-9L2Z7G391A about $400 for the part and add on labor. Add in some new Mercon V and filter kit and your good to go. "
Good luck.

Hello rrcds,
Have you changed the transmission fluid recently? If not, try changing the fluid first (and filter). If it still happens, then you may need to take it to transmission mechanic. If the car is front wheel drive, you may need a new driver axel (best to replace both at same time); also make sure that all the engine mounts and transmission mounts are tightened. You could possibly need new wheel bearings, as this will cause the car to shake while driving/shifting etc. Wheel bearing however, aren't something a mechanic (or anyone) can check, and let you know if they're bad - once they're in there, they need to put new ones in. Also, check your front and back brakes, brake lines, and take a look at the master cylinder to ensure there are no leaks on it. Examine your brake lines as well, both front and back.
I hope this information is useful, and helps you in the successful repair of your car. If there is anything else I can be of assistance to, please let me know. Thank you agan for choosing fixya.com
