I have a question :-) The main connector from the 1998 transmission is broken. The part number is F8AZ-7G276-AA, unfortunately this part is completely out of stock. I ordered it at some ford OEM shops but they all canceled the order because there's no ETA for it. Now if found F8AP-7G276-AB which...

@NoLimit95 I don't know but I prefer repinning instead of rewiring. I heard that repinning can cause problems, but only if you don't do it right. In my opinion it's easier to repin a connector instead of grabbing all the electrical internal from a transmission - or do I have an error in...

@chris2523 Thank you! That's a very good instruction! @Bangster No, I have both internal harness from the transmission. Just the external harness from the 1998 tranny is missing. And thanks for making it clear! :-) Another thing (firts thought it might not that big problem): one of the...

Greetings from Germany, I recently bought a low-mileage 1998 transmission for my 1997 Lincoln Mark 8. Unfortunately the transmission came without harness. Sorry if this already has been asked, but can I use the harness from my 1997 to install the 1998 tranny? I heard that there's a way to...

Ok. :-) @opalescent 96 Mh... no we did not use the proper torque for tighten the valve body up. Hmph... I'll drop the pan soon, maybe I can see anything. Of course I'll torque them at specs then. @OchoMarko Of course, checked it several times. It's perfect red and clean. And it smells like...

But why does this only happen when the transmission is warm? I'll try some friction additive, I hope I'll get it in a local car parts store. I have heard of that (putting saw dust into tranny), but wouldn't it clog all the small holes in the tranny? Also won't the transmission filter 'clean'...

There was no magnet in the pan, also the fluid looked like new. It seems that they done the 1-2 accumulators which I was up to do myself. The pre-owner didn't know if something has been done on the tranny. Of course I added a magnet after I noticed it was missing. Can you recommend any...

Ok, now I lost 3rd - I did let it cool down for about 5 minutes restarted it and 3rd gear is back. I though when something is shot shouldn't it STAY shot? I am happy that it works again, but for how long? That really drives me crazy. Looking for a used transmission now.

The car shifts pretty good (also in OD), the problem starts when the transmission is hot. The car just jumps into neutral, at least it feels like neutral. I can push the gas pedal and nothing happens, expect the engine revs up. When the problem starts I click the OD off/on button and the...

Can I test them? I think a New Star tester is needed, correct? :-/ @chris2523 Oh good to know! Unfortunately my Park indicator doesn't work. They made a lot of **** when they 'updated' the car to meet German regulations (i.e. Amber tail turn signals), they just cut the wire from the brake...

Unfortunately to problem starts again, after about 18 miles of driving the overdrive jumps into neutral. I replaced the MLPS for sure, but it didn't cured the problem. I been in a car shop today, and they did read out the error codes (there aren't any) the guy (specialized on US-cars; kind of...

Made a complete flush with Mercon V about 1500 miles ago. Today I removed the MLPS and cleaned the contacts with contacts spray. Overdrive is working now. But I think I need a new MLPS anyway because this is only a temporary fix. Also the indicator for 'P' doesn't light up and I can start...

Hello! Today I lost the overdrive on my 1997 Mark VIII transmission. It shifts nice from 1 to 2 to 3 but when shifting into 4th gear in feels like it's going into neutral. The engine just revs up when you hit the gas. When I press the 'O/D off' button it shifts perfect. What could this...

Well I think it is a 1997 transmission, it's just a little bit confusing because the drilling holes are far away from 0.081". Very strange. I drove it today some kilometers - it shifts ok, but I was expecting more power. :-) In my opinion my Buick Park Avenue has a much better gas...

Mhm ok. That brings me to the question why my separator plate has bigger hole sizes for hole #9 and #11. Isn't it a 1997 transmission?
