Got my leak fixed. It was the front seal. Cost $595. Thanks for the help.

Thanks My '02 was doing the same thing. Glad I stumbled across this thread and cleaned and re-lubed. Everything is great now. Thanks.

Did you get a quote or have it fixed? if so, how much did it cost? It is definitely transmission fluid. Thanks for the diagram. I'll see if I can trace it back further.

Hi, I have a 2002 Lincoln LS, v8, automatic, 100k miles. It has a slow transmission fluid leak (I find a few couple drops under it after it has been parked). I would appreciate any help in identifying where the leak is coming from, and approximate cost to have repaired. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I didn't see the 3rd connector, and assumed that it was for optional external inputs. I'll pull the head unit out and see if I can find that cable.

2002 LS V8, with 6 disc Alpine CD changer and no Navigation Unit. Several years ago, I pulled the stock head unit, replaced speakers, and put in aftermarket amp. I am now selling the car, so returning it to stock. Got it all hooked back up, and the center front and rear deck speakers to not...

Here is what i've had to replace so far, 2002LS 3.9 AUTO, Owned 50K to 75k Miles: 1) New Front Sway bar + Bushings ($105ish, did labor myself - this sucked) 2) 4x Coils/Gasket/Plugs for passenger side (~$200, did this myself) 3) DCCV replaced ($65-$120 did labor myself)) 4) right front...

I haven't heard any noises. just an occasional Passenger side hot air during A/C. I've read theories on the coils, stabilizer bar bushings, etc, but I've never read one on the DCCV. As an engineering type, I was just curious why it fails

About 1.5 years ago, my vents would blow cold air out the driver's side, and hot air out the passenger side. I replaced the DCCV and all was good......until yesterday. So, I have a couple of questions. 1) Why do these fail so often? 2) Have there been any design changes since these...

owned my LS since 50K miles, don't believe any replaced prior to me. 1) 2002 2) V8 3) 1? not yet replaced. 4) 4 according to the codes 5) 10 miles each way to work, 5 miles city, 5 miles highway at 70mph. Mine just started missing last week @ 70K miles. I plan on replacing gasket and...

Thanks to the OP and the one with the other "how to" thread" linked here. My Driver door window started making a crunching sound and excessive wind noise, but still worked. Ordered the new part $109 at TeamFordParts.com and followed these directions. Replaced unit in ~ 1-1.5 hrs. Mine had...

Hi, I too am interested in your wheels. I'd appreciate a PM with price and pics. Thanks.
