Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'm trying to arrange to bring it to the shop ASAP, but they won't be able to look at it till next week. In the meantime, I had it in another shop, and they think the noise is coming from a possibly damaged flywheel, but they'd have to take the tranny out...

I didn't put it in myself, it was another shop that did it (and they specialize more in tuning high-end imports), so it's completely plausible that they didn't do something right. I assume this will be harder to check for than just pulling an inspection plate, right?

cool, thanks for the advice guys, i'll check it out one more thing - does the fact that the noise get quieter\go away for a second or two when switching gears (from R to N to D to 1\2) mean anything? is it possible that something inside the tranny itself would be making this horrendous noise?

Does the tranny need to come out completely to check\fix this?

Yeah, that was my first fear as well, but both shops narrowed it down to the transmission\torque converter area

I recently put in a new tranny in my 98LSC, it came from a 2002 Mustang with 38K miles on it. It's been OK for about a month, except for a loud clanking\ratcheting noise that would appear and disappear occasionally if I was driving it for more than 30 minutes. A few days ago, it started...

Went through this a week ago. Spent about 6 hours in the cold, and the replacement handle still doesn't even work right. One of the worst jobs I ever had to do on my car. If I could go back and just pay someone $90 I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Please post some pics of the screen mounting process. I've been thinking about a carputer for years now, but the thought of trying to make that screen fit in the dash has been scaring me.

would you mind telling me how you did it? I tried to install the FR500 in my 98 a few years ago, but ended up abandoning it because I couldn't get it to fit on the shaft.

Does the fact that my mark is a 98 make any difference here?

So it looks like I'll be shopping for a used junkyard tranny for my 98 LSC. What would be the best donor to look for? Wikipedia suggests my choices are: 1993–1998 Lincoln Mark VIII 1993–2003 Ford F-Series 1994–1997 Ford Thunderbird 1995–1998 Lincoln Mark VIII 1995–2004 Ford Crown...

Trying to arrange for someone to take a look at it. I live in an apartment complex, so getting under there myself and dropping the pan won't be an option. It's leaking tranny fluid real bad though. I added over a quart (and that seemed to have filled it up to the proper level), and a couple...

Hey guys, I have a 98 LSC with almost 150K miles on the original transmission, and it developed some major problems. I can shift it into reverse, and it shifts nice and strong and drives fine. However, when I shift into D, it just acts like nothing happened (except the RPMs go down just a...

Does the message come on immediately after you turn the car on? Or does it come on after about 90 seconds?

mine does the same thing

Drama. No need for it.

Where do they make the brakemotive rotors? I couldn't find that info, so I'm going to assume the worst (China). KVRs are made in Canada and are of proven quality. How much is the difference worth - that's up to you.

A/C should disengage if you floor it...

Thank you for this! I saved a whole lot of time and pain today by reaching in through the headlight hole and swapping the relay from the ABS to the air compressor side. Took me about an hour from start to finish. No taking off the wheels is awesome :)
