I just bought my first Mark VIII yesterday (8/19/2020). It is a 1995 with 56,000 miles. I don't have pictures yet, but it is white but has a few dents/dings.
2 issues i have found so far is the check the air suspension light is on and the transmission shutters when the engine is below 2000 rpm and under a load. I have had this issue on an 04 crown vic and fixed it by changing the fluid and filter.
So this evening i dropped the pan expecting it to be covered in metal and have the little dipstick plug floating around. However, the pan was very clean (only a small amount of metal on the magnet) and the plug is gone. I guess someone else has already been in there.
The fluid stinks really bad and it was overfilled. I am still hoping that changing the fluid and filter will stop the shutter.
Is anything i should look for or do before filling the transmission? Also if the transmission is bad what transmission should i get? I am planning to supercharge it sometime (maybe this winter).
