    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

My Lincoln ls shifts very hard from 2nd gear to 3rd gear . what is the problem?

Hi David. I am a big fan of starting with the cheap and simple fixes first. Some people find that a low transmission fluid level caused the problem you described and when they simply added a little transmission fluid, they solved the problem. Like your car oil, transmission oil can get dirty, only with transmission fluid, dirt can clog the filter and the control body of the tranny system. About 70 % of all the auto tranny problems are solved by changing the transmission fluid.

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.

Good

I have a 2001 V8 Lincoln LS and have tranny problems. The reverse does not work and the transmission will not shift automatically. If I put it in any gear on the auto side, I can hear it engage but when I...

If you drive it a few days like that ,you will have a $3000 repair bill

instead of a $332.20 Solenoid Trans Pack, I put in my 2004

Any time you have, any trans issues,you stop driving it immediately
You never drive again, until diagnosed and repaired

I used to own a trans repair shop.

You will have to add labor to yours.

My 2005 lincoln ls feels like it is going in and out of 4th & 5th gear expecially when traveling on an upgrade at a speed 75- 80.

Common problem..we keep ours in drive..4th when traveling in hilly areas because tranny keeps shifting into overdrive...5th. I know they should not shift like this but if you try that it will solve your shifting problem without spending hard earned dollars. :) hope that helps.

Lincoln ls shifts hard into reverse

You will have to have the solenoid body replaced in the tranny and have the PCM reprogrammed.
