Welp.... After my Ivory 97 mark's tranny took a dump last year I have been depending on my blue 97 mark for all my commuting. Now its tranny took a dump also. :frown-blue: I pulled the valve body and went through everything with a fine tooth comb including new solenoids and it was all for...

I would like to start dismantling this car, and rather than have it slammed on the ground due to no airbags...... does anyone know a good way to support the suspension up with blocks of wood so that I can still move it around the property and up onto a trailer once I am ready to haul off whats left?

The car has a bad transmission and I have decided to part it out. Some parts I may hold on to, but please feel free to make an offer on any part thats shippable. The exterior is Ivory pearl and the interior is Ivory color also. Bout 150k on the car...... many good condition parts on this car...

I know how the default position for the hvac goes to defrost only when there is not enough vacuum, but I have plenty of vacuum going to the climate unit and its not showing any codes when I run the test on the climate control unit........and it still is only going to defrost. Is there any other...

OK..... Now that I have fixed the 3-4 shift on my blue 97 mk8...I am wondering if its worth dropping the valve body and shift accumulators on my other 97 mark that has lost 3rd and 4th gear completely? :confused: This car has 140K miles and recently it started to not go into 3rd or 4th gear...

Hello all! Its been a while since my last post, but was just wondering if the 2 to 3 shift accumulator was accessible without removing the valve body? Also.....would it be worth the time and effort to clean the valve body out and possibly clean that tiny little filter up in there? And does...

Hey guys! Been a while since my last post. :o The problem is not with either of my marks this time....its with my sisters 1993 mark viii. It needs a cruise control servo, and I am having trouble finding the exact part # given to her by the dealer. :confused: They gave us part # F8UZ-9C735-AA...

Some of you might remember that on one of my 97 marks the blend door actuator went out so I replaced it.... Problem is that all of a sudden today I have barely any air blowing from any of the vents. This has me soooo stumped because the climate control unit shows no codes, the blend door is...

Ok...I know this is not quit the right forum but I really need to find out what rear springs will work on a 2000 Town Car. I have heard that Grand Marquis and Crown Vic of certain years will work but I dont know what year I will need :confused: A guy on ebay is selling a set that goes on all...

Hello all... Its been a while since I posted, but then again I haven't had any problems with my Lincoln's for a while either. lol My 97 daily driver started to have a horrible clattering sound coming from the drivers side head that just got worse and worse. :eek: I took it to several shops in...

For as long as I can remember, my 97 has shifted fine between gears 1&2 but from gears 2 to 3 the rpm's go up real high and it takes forever to finally go into gear..:( I have dropped the pan and replaced the filter bit I have not done the j-mod or replaced any shift Accumulator. My question...

I was thinking of having my rear redone, and I would like to get all the parts needed myself. I am not too familiar with what all it would require to have someone make it a Track Lock or "posi". First I know I need the ford 8.8 gear set and a seal and bearing kit, but when it comes to the...

I did a lot of searching on here and cant find out much about the emissions vapor canister and whatnot under the passenger side fender well. The problem on this gen2 is that it smells of gas vapor as you drive the car, and it has an OBDII code P1451. I have replaced all the injector Orings...

Ok guys the other day I noticed that my Gen2 a/c would go from cold to warm over and over again as I drove it....Today I found that the A/C clutch would not engage at all, even when the low switch is jumped...Also no matter what I do the cooling fan will not come on. From what I can tell the...

Today it was raining and for some reason my gen2 mark's wind shield wipers keeps coming to rest in the up position only when you turn it off....everything else with them works as it should though, even the intermittent works and pauses at the bottom ...Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone...
