I have a '95 Mark VIII that I need to sell. It has some issues, but all in all it is in decent shape. I am the second owner, original owner had it untill 2005 when he passed away. It sat unused untill 2007 when his family donated it so some charity who sold it to me. Since I have had it I...

Thanks for the tips guys. Approx 80 lbs?

I need to replace my trans and I need to know how much it weighs because I'll probably be doing the work myself with the help of a couple friends. Anyone have a link for a walkthrough on replacing the 4R70W on a '95 Mark?

I'll look into that for sure. I can drive it okay right now. It just revs high in first before shifting. I am going to start looking around for a deal on a new(rebuilt) trans too. I think I may just go for a T-56 F-Body swap.

My second gear is shot, and I think I need a new tranny. If I have to replace the trans, I may as well swap it for a manual! I'm looking for as little guesswork as possible, as this is my daily driver to work. Would one of you guys who've done this before list everything I am going to need...

Second gear is shot. I played with it on the freeway today. First gear runs to 4 or 5 krpm, then shifts straight into 3'rd. When I force it into second, it'll engage, but when I give it gas to accelerate, it slips and the engine just revs. Transmission bad, or something else? If the tranny...

No, I don't have hard shifts, just the current issues. On the way home last night I pulled over at a shop and checked my trans fluid level, it was really low. I put a quart in, and it's not doing the neutral thing except for when I stop really hard or make a turn at high'ish speeds. But it is...

How much am I looking at for the new pan and filter? I have tools, a jack and stands. Should be less then a 2 hour DIY job you think? Oh, and what is the exact name for the pan, so I can look it up localy. Transmission Fluid Pan? I'll have to check the fluid levels, that sounds the most...

Not sure what is going on, and I really hope I don't have to replace the tranny... Started a month or two ago, but when I come to a full stop, or make a sharp turn it shifts into neutral. Have to rev it a little bit to make it shift abck into first, but after that it's all cake. But...

I had the same problem on my '95 M8 up untill yesterday. My buddy and I tore into it and replaced the plugs. After that we test fired it and blew a wire through the casing on my #6 wire. Replace the wires and now it runs like new. Found out that I had almost 160k on factory wires and plugs...

Ahh, didn't think of that. Was dreading having to pay to get it aligned after I did all the work myself. Thanks!

Look sick as hell to me

How much for the rear badge? The one that slides open over the trunk key? Mine is really faded, lol.

Well, since I have too much time on my hands, and want to do something semi-original with my Mark, I am thinking about pulling the auto transmision, and dropping in a trany and gear box with shifter from a '96 Cobra. Since the engine is the same, I'd think it wouldn't be much trouble making it...

Thanks a ton Blue, great tips. I think I am going to buy a couple ramps today for doing the fluids suff, and I already bought a decent lift kit, so I'll look into doing it myself. I have a buddy who has an '02 Stang that he's re-build for the track, so he'll be able to help me with the control...

Oh, and lastly, should I be expecting a pain in the ass oil filter position, or it is relativly easy to get to and remove?

Yeah, I just had my Driver rear knuckle replaced. That was a nice $500 repair, but that was all my bad. Took it sideways into a sidewalk doing something stupid and lost the back end. Wasn't used to the power yet coming from my front wheel drive 105 HP 4 banger into a 280 HP rear wheel Marky...

Picked up my '95 Mark about 2-3 months ago, and have gone through alot of hassle (my own fault). It's going to be road worthy again tonight pending a rear brake pad swap, and I decided to go ahead and do some of the basic maintainance while I was at it since I have no idea when it was done last...

Yup, that's me. Had to part with my Scion xB a few months back, payments were too high after I got my hours cut. My dad helped me locate a new ride, and checked out about 20 cars. Gave me the stack of cars he printed up from craigslist, I spotted the Mark VIII, and said THAT ONE! Had it for a...

Ouch. That was the exact reason I went with the Eliminator. I talked to my shop, they said "$750", and I said "I'll call you back", and then looked up shops in socal that had that part. Just had my buddys and stuff drive me around to take care of everything, and luckily it happened on a sat, and...
