2004 Lincoln won’t shift out of second or fifth gear
Al’s question:
My 2004 Lincoln won’t shift out of second or fifth gear. I’ve gone to various transmission shops and have heard all kinds of stories about what the problem could be. Almost all of them wanted to totally rebuild the transmission for a whole lot of money. Have you ever seen this, and more importantly, was the fix a bit less than a total rebuild?”
Answer:
Yes, I have seen that before. The last one I did had a bad overdrive servo piston which had broken in half. Replacing it was a WHOLE lot cheaper than rebuilding the entire transmission. So have that servo piston checked out, this might be your lucky day.
