]]> Lincoln Mark VIII beatcpl http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=83180 Check Transmission Message, no Codes http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=83179&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 17:37:53 GMT I am getting the "check transmission" message and E on the dash. No other lights are on, and no codes are coming up. For whatever reason this is also triggering the cooling fan to run at 100% as well.

I had the transmission out recently, as the torque converter needed replaced. Since it had 100k miles on it, I went ahead and had a local guy rebuild it and do all of the necessary updates to it. It ran fine for several hundred miles of mixed driving, and only triggered this message after a two hour, 100+ mile drive.

It drives perfectly normal. I cannot get any codes out of it with my tool, and neither can the parts store. If I use my tool to clear any codes, the message and E go away for a few moments, then it beeps and the message returns.

Last summer and fall:
- alternator
- aluminum t-stat housing

So far this spring:
- new sparks and Visteon COPs ($180 for the set)
- 120k transmission service
- rear differential service

Tomorrow
- new sport shocks
- new motor mounts

Wouldn't it be great if, after all this, the car drove as well as it did when we first bought it?

All told I'll probably be close to $3,500 in work in the last year.

I don't think there is a shortcut but thought I would check before I tackled mine.

I ofcourse FLIPPED OUT! Yes, the plan was/is to sell my 93 to obtain the cash to prep & paint the black 97 but there are things I want to transfer from one car to the other before selling the car including my CobraStar logo's, wheels & exhaust. My wife immediately tells me I better not dare ruin the black 97 by making it "sporty".
She has no car so she wants to have it for herself. She wants it as classy as the prairie tan & she said its going to be HER car! :eek:

So here's the couple questions I need to ask my fellow Mark buddies. (Please be honest, save the sarcasm for other threads)

#1. Am I being selfish? I know she deserves a car, she's a great woman but I've wanted a black/black Gen II since I've owned my Mark. My plan was for her to drive the black/black but I at least wanted to install the exhaust, wheels, CobraStar logos & gauges on the car.

#2. Should I keep my 93 & EVER-SO-SLOWLY save up to paint the black 97 for my wife? This way everyone is happy?

#3. Another option is to find someone willing to trade their small SUV/blazer/Jimmy/Explorer for my 93 Mark. She likes mid size SUV's

I'm not a spoiled person but for the last 10 years or so I've always had a toy, whether its a boat, waverunner or sport's car. I don't consider my prairie tan a toy. It's our "fancy lookin" going out car. I think I'm being selfish & want the best of both worlds. Maybe it's just me.
