What Does Your Lincoln Town Car Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1996 Lincoln Town Car transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Lincoln Town Car transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Town Car isn’t working at all.

1996 Lincoln Town Car Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Lincoln's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lincoln Town Car? 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. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Town Car is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Town Car's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Lincoln Town Car’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lincoln, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lincoln Town Car? Yes. Lincoln Town Car transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Lincoln Town Car transmission leak? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair Town Car transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I drive my Lincoln Town Car with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Town Car to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
