I joined not that long ago and didnt even introduce myself. My name is Blaze and I live in Missouri. I recently decided to take on my grandparents 90 Grand Marquis. They passed away in 2000 and it has been sitting most of the time ever since, in and out of the garage. I put a new battery in it and drove it to the Oil change garage, 2 blocks away to get the oil changed. It wasnt until I tried to leave town with it that I discovered it doesnt shift out of second gear. It will just wind out second and when you take your foot off the gas, its like neutral. It doesnt even engine brake in that gear. You can feel it try to go in Overdrive, but it is like neutral when it does. I guess the transmission is shot. I think at one point the little cable fell out of the bushing and damaged the trans before they noticed. I faintly remember something to that effect, but cannot be sure. Other than that it is a very clean car.
