Unfortunately it sounds like your automatic transmission has suffered a catastrophic failure. But to be sure, allow your vehicle to warm up to normal operating temprature, pull the oil level dipstick for the transmission and check the level. It should be in the checker portion of the stick to be correct level. If it is not, adding fluid may help the condition temporarily. Check for leaks while the engine is running. Have Lincoln or transmission specialist have a look. When it comes to transmissions in general, it is best to let the pros handle it for youl

97' Lincoln Continental It Dont have Power on the Gear Drive it Barely moves it does go on Reverse
Check your transmission fluid level and smell/color. You have to check it with the engine on. Make sure the fluid is at the right level and that it doesn't look gritty or sparkly. You may have a clogged transmission filter if everything else checks out.

Tonight I was driving my 2000 Lincoln Continental and the trans. just stopped working. It will do nothing in forward in any gear or in reverse. What could be the problem?
It could be a number of things but I'd start with the oil and filter. When was the last time the trans was serviced?

I have 1999 Lincoln Continental that slam's into gear when you start going. Fluid is not burnt and is full. What would cause that? The car otherwise runs great
Having owned a trans repair shop, I
would guess you would expect me
to give you an exact detailed list, of all
the possible things that need attention

What I will say is STOP DRIVING IT

ANY SLAMMING OR SLIPPING, and
your close to pulling that trans out.

You don't need to discuss the what if's,
just get it looked at, and resolved, BEFORE
you drive it
