linclov February 14th, 2007, 09:20 AM What a thrill. Finally picked up a MK V111. 1994 with 120,000 kilometers. Picked it up for 3400$ canadian. To put it on a hoist is there anything I should know and where can I get the manual that comes with the car from the factory, the one that goes in the glove box. Oh happy day

A kilometer is the metric system for the mile that we use(english system).
1.6 KM = 1 mile, so it has about 75,000 miles on it. Not many for a '94.
linclov February 14th, 2007, 07:02 PM sorry guys should have put miles instead of kilometers
Frogman February 14th, 2007, 07:12 PM No worries. Most of us are edjumakated enough to know what a km is. :lol:

PioneerCrazed February 15th, 2007, 02:34 PM Uh, bad news man... Trans is most likely toast...
Were you cruising at anywhere between 30-40 then slamming the gas into first? That's what happened to me when I had my 94.
The direct clutch is most likely burnt up. Check out this link for more info:

You just lost your one-way clutch in the transmission. I suspect you were having fun doing some 1-2 upshifts or 4-2 downshifts. How do I know. I toasted 2 trannies myself in my young and foolish days.:D
Don't do an Aamco rebuild or something like that. Get a '98 or newer trans (4r70w) that has the upgraded mechanical diode that can take the abuse you are dishing out.:cool:
Or spend $1600 for a 'racing' trans good for 500+ hp.
Good luck.
kustomizingkid February 18th, 2007, 01:38 PM You can get a preformance tranny form this place for $1200. One of the best you can buy that I've heard of. I plan on buying one for my mark and my crown vic.

linclov February 20th, 2007, 12:38 PM Trnny Is Fixed And Updated, Ended Up Being Intermediate Shaft, Apperantly These Trannies Where Noted For This Problem And Once It Has Been Updated Should Go For Ever, I Hope
