  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lincoln tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load.

  • Does my Continental's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2001 Continental’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
