There is an adjustment screw on the linkage connecting the arm from the steering column to the transmission. loosen it, then slide under the car and push the lever on the side of the transmission into park thenpush the shift lever into park then tighten the screw.
check the bolts on the linkage going from the column to the transmission. probably just need tightening. (generally the bolt ON the transmission shift plate that connects into the transmission shaft is loose) Probably takes a 10 mm socket
Hello! The transmission in your Lincoln is the 4R70W...4R70W does not have band adjustments. it is a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive that is computer controlled..Th Manual Lever Position Sensor goes bad due to transmission fluid seeping into the sensor's connector..Send a comment if you require additional information or help..Guru...Saailer
Seems like a common sense move would be to take it to a transmission shop and let someone who knows what they are doing put their eyes and hands on it. If it is a simple linkage adjustment he should see it immediately and be able to correct it at little cost.
It may just be a linkage adjustment OR maybe worse. Have a shop or transmissionn shop check it for you, whatever it costs, it will be less than a headache over a used car with a bad trans.
If you search on www.youtube.com you may well find a video of someone pulling a wiper motor w/linkage on a 90s lincoln, full size mercury, or ford. They will all be about the same process, if you can not find a video then buy a repair manual on CD over on eBay for about 10 bucks. When you have the linkage out and in your hands you will see what has failed, I would guess the arm that bolts on one end to the end of the motor's shaft and snaps or bolts on the other end to the end of the linkage. On a car that old you are going to be looking for a new wiper motor or a used transmission, should be plenty of them around in junkyards as the air suspension systems failed and they were too expensive to repair. A junkyard can give you an interchange number for the part and that will help you find a similar linkage in other years and other FOMOCO models. Possibly someone makes an aftermarket for the linkage, but I doubt it.
Check to see if your linkage to the transmission is properly adjusted. Get a book on your car at your local auto parts store and look up throttle/transmission shift linkage adjustment
