so a quick update on my dads 2003 lincoln LS 3.9. It had a broken valve spring on cylinder 8 exhaust side causing a huge misfire. Took apart both heads replaced the valve spring, head gaskets and new timing chain and guides. Car runs beautiful again. So now next problem the car "bangs" into park sometimes going from rev to park and sometimes drive to park. He said the car has been doing it for a while. I read on the broken spring that can cause this in the tranny my question is what else should I replace while I am changing the spring? Any other springs or parts that should be looked at or changed in the tranny?
Not related but I have codes p0153 and p0430 and a pending code of p0420. The 420 has been there for a while but the 153 and 430 is new. Could the sensor have gone bad causing a 430? What's the best way to diagnose this problem? Thanks again guys
