1983 Lincoln Mark VI Transmission Q&A

  • What can I tow in a Lincoln? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Mark VI towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 Mark VI’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.
