Questions About 1983 Lincoln Continental’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lincoln? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lincoln Continental? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Continental towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Continental is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Continental's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 Continental’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed.
