    Need advice on buying a used LS

    I've been driving a 94 Mark VIII for the last several years. It still runs great, but has over 140k miles on it, and I think it's time to send it down the road. I'd like to get into an LS. Being a Mark VIII owner, my instinct says go for the LS V8. However, I know that a manual tranny was...

    help needed with a 2002 STS

    I'm trying to help out a buddy with a 2002 STS and a limited budget. He recently had a tune-up done by a non-Cadillac mechanic. Just to clarify, this is a certified mechanic, just not a Cadillac mechanic. He did plugs, fuel filter, and tranny service. The hope was that all this would clear...

    How do I take the console apart on a 2001 STS?

    My roommate has a 2001 STS, and the black plastic/rubber thing around the shifter (underneath the woodgrain console surface - in the channel where the shifter travels) is all mucked up, and binding up the shifter. I'm figuring that the easiest short term fix is to remove this piece, but I'm not...

    How many manual LS cars were manufactured?

    I'm currently a Mark VIII driver, but have been eyeballing the LS as my next driver. I just discovered they made a manual version of this car - and I think that's the ticket for me. Was it only the 2000 model year that the manual trans was offered? How many did they make? And most...

    Anyone know a good transmission shop in the DC area?

    The transmission in my 94 is talking to me, and it telling me it's going to need open-heart surgery soon. I'd like to get it beefed up a little, but not a race build - just enough to handle enthusiastic driving. I live in Northern Virginia - does anyone know of a good transmission shop in this area?

    thinking of buying an Eldorado - need advice

    I currently own a 94 Lincoln Mark VIII, and am contemplating my next car. Obviously, I like 2 door luxury sedans - and am thinking of a 92+ Eldorado. As a Mark VIII owner for the past year, I've learned a lot of the little annoyances one deals with when owning a used one. Can anyone provide a...

    Pic of my Cobrastar grill

    If any of you have done this or tried this with one of these emblems, you'll know that it's smaller than the factory grill emblem, leaving gaps at the top and bottom. I took an old piece of trim I had laying around from another car, and after several hours with the dremel, I came up with this...

    Upper control arm installation - made a little easier

    I installed an upper control arm on the driver's side of my 94 yesterday. Any of you who have done this know what a pain it is to get to the rear bolt. I found a whitepaper (on another site) indicating this can be done with a ratchet extention and a pivot through the factory provided access hole...

    Overdrive out?

    I just bought my second Lincoln - a 1988 Bill Blass with 64k miles on it, and cosmetically it's absolutely gorgeous. However, I believe overdrive is toast - it acts like neutral when it shifts at higher speeds and the fluid is new and pink. I searched the forums on the topic of overdrive in...

    Cold air idea - has anyone tried this?

    I've done some research on the subject of air induction, and there seems to be many who question the benefit of converting to a conical filter. I was contemplating replacing the standard filter with the equivalent K&N, but after researching it, I'm not sure if it's worth the extra dough...

    Newbie with a 94 Mark VIII in Columbus, OH

    Hello, I'm another newbie, and here's a few pics of my newly acquired 94 Mark VIII. It's got 92K on it, and just about everything works perfectly. Like any 12 year old car, it needs a few tweaks - but I love the harmonious balance of luxury and performance. I'm planning a chip and a traction...
