Questions About 1990 Lincoln Continental’s Transmission

  • How much can my Lincoln tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Continental's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Lincoln Continental’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Lincoln. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Lincoln Continental transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Lincoln Continental can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Continental ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
