    Some Trans and other issues I need help sorting out

    LOL though a good idea, I don't think that will solve my problems. I did get a chance to manually shift the car from 1-2 today, and I went all the way to 6k rpms then I shifted into second. So I am thinking TPS is going bad

    Windshield replacement. What windshields are Interchangable

    I need a new windshield for my 98 Mark, and I was wondering if I could use the windshield for a Thunderbird or 93-96 Mark viii. Or is the 97-98 one the only one I can use.
