Re: 1998 lincoln continental transmission. i just stopped for gas and when i restarted on my way, the transmssion will not shift above 2nd gear either automatically from the drive position or as i manually shift the gears thru the gate. the transmission light is also on. the fluid checks out fine and i have disconnected the battery for over ten minutes to reset the cpu but the condition has not corrected itself. please advise asap if there is a quick fix or fuse to check to get me back on the road tonite. thanks

The last time I experienced this the gearbox governor gear (which are usually made of plastic had lost its drive teeth. Did you notice if the speedo still worked.

You have too much fluid in the transmission. Park on level ground. After a 15 min drive. Leave engine running. Set parking brake. Transmssion in neutral. Check tranny fluid. A cup or more over will cause this. Better to have less than too much. Drain at least a full 1 leter bottle. Go for drive check it again. As above.
The TCM or transmission control module may be bad or a stuck trans. shift soleniod. It may be worth it just to take it to a certified transmission shop to have them run a diagnostic check to retrieve the TCM's trouble codes then go from there.
Is it possible that the sound is happening every time you hit 14 mph after a fresh start? The TC does a ABS check 14 mph that runs the pump for a second.
