How often will I need Lincoln Continental differential service?

Why is my Continental malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Continental has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Continental check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Continental?

If your Continental has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Continental?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Continental’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Continental forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1984 Lincoln Continental

Your Continental drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lincoln, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1984 Lincoln Continental to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Lincoln's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Lincoln Continental may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

How much does it cost to fix your 1984 Lincoln Continental drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
