    Most likely th transfer case shift tube is broken
    a lot of Lincolns have had this problem. You can fix it yourself if you're a do it your selfer & can follow directions. You can order one from Rock Auto.com for $23.00 including shipping. Type in how to change transfer case shift tube for a 1996 Lincoln and follow the directions. Hope this helps. I'm replacing one now in a 92 Lincoln it's not real easy but if you follow the directions you can do it.You will need some tools.

DOES 1996 LINCOLN HAVE AIR BAGS IN FRONT? IS IT HARD TO CONVERT THE REAR TO SPRINGS?

No. The Lincoln Continental does not have air bags in the front. It is not exactly hard to convert the rear airbags to springs. It is more time consuming than anything. I have a 1996 Town Car, I had a mechanic replace the air shocks with springs.

Lincoln Town Car will not shift out of park. Before that happened, I smelled something burning like plastic .

There is a park switch under the steering wheel shaft. Hard to get at. It uses your foot on the petal to de-activate. Switch could be blown.
May be a mechanic fix but look anyway.

1999 Lincoln Town Car shifter stuck in park

Look at the swith on the brake pedal, it shoud have two green wires on it. Make sure it is not melted or the wire is broken. If it is damaged you can connect the 2 wires together to get it into gear, but this should be temporary as it bypasses the neutral safety switch.
