I own a 99 lincoln town car with a 4.6 and the other day i changed spark plugs and inspected the coilpacks while i was at it when i got everything put back together and decided to take it for a drive the car shifted into first and second just fine but it wont shift into third so the car was going about 60 mph and the rpms were extremely high like if i had the accelerator to the floor. I asked a friend and he said if the tranny was slipping then the car wouldnt be accelerating im lost and dont know where to start

Might be coincidence or might be something you overlooked or accidentally disturbed.

Might be you have displaced a vacuum hose.
Maybe you had something disconnected and switched on the ignition and introduced a fault code.

If a thorough visual inspection doesn't bear fruit there is little you can do without electronic diagnostic equipment and a deal of experience.

SOURCE: MY TRANS WONT SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR UNTIL IM DOING 45 MPH

Most likely your shift cable (from the selector to the transmission) is worn, maybe needs lubrication. Mine had a similiar problem, but had to shift it into neutral and back up to get it in reverse. A new shift cable solved the problem.

SOURCE: my transmission slips going through second gear if

this problem is a common failure associated with your shift solenoinds inside your tranny. of course a shop is not gonna tell you this because by the time you wanna get it repaired it is usually too late and have already cause damage to your clutch pack and internal parts, thats the main reason why a shop wont mess with just replacing your shift solenoid (aka valve bodie)

2000 lincoln town car executive series sparkplugs

Between the rocker cover and the fuel rail are the coils, one per cylinder hed in place by a smill 8mm bolt. Remove the coil and find the spark plug wire, the arrangement is called a coil-on-plug or COP. Spark plug is in the tube from whince the spark plug wire came. 5/8" deep socket and long extension will reach it. Another hint find some way to clean out the tube before removing the spark plug least all kinds of junk winds up in the cylinder.......SMith

I think that the coil packs has installed wrong because you said that the problem started when you replaced them... so i think you should re-install.
