    Cool looking forward to seeing it.

    On any new to you vehicle it is worth going over the fluids and changing it out where it deems necessary.

    I would recommend a good wash and cleaner wax just so you know it has some protection in it.

    For pic posting make sure you "go advanced" in your comment page and then click on the paperclip to a paper icon next to the blue undo arrow. There you can drop desktop photos into your thread. Good luck.

      I can't remember if the 94 fixed the recurring shudder going from third to fourth. It would go away after a fluid change but come back eventually. A plate trans cooler solved the problem for good. I believe you still have the torque converter drain plug in 94.

      Get a nice heavy rear sway bar. You will like that. Better handling without a harsh ride.

          As for the rear axle, check the vin tag on the door. Should be a 2 character axle code on the vin tag. Then check this thread: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...258-Axle-Codes

            I didnt feel a shudder on the 2hour drive home, but should it have a trans cooler i can delete for a larger one? Also by bigger sway bar do you mean the ppv crown vics bar?

                Ah... single character codes... yes, Y should be 3.08 open. Highway gears as it were.

                I think only tow package/performance package cars got the extra trans cooler. You should only have the base trans cooler that's built into the radiator.

                  Yes all automatic cars have a trans cooler typically in the radiator or more recently in the condenser. I did mean an aux cooler. Back then I just added the ford aux cooler from the dealer but there are many options.

                      originally was Dexron III / Mercon, its now Mercon V. The V fixes the converter shudder problem.

                        It prevents the problem rather than fixing it. yeah... some antics (semantics).

                          Im going to do a tune up on the lincoln soon and was wondering if its worth putting a k&n filter in, if theres any noticable gains, power or mpg wise, thanks for answering all my question as well! By the way by k&n filter i mean the ones that go right in the old box

                            Don't waste your money on a K&N filter. Yes it seems to breath a little better and a slight gas mileage increase. You have to treat the filter maybe once a year or so. Based on what I have read, K&N filters do not filter fine sand well. Might cause more damage then they are worth. I had one on my 96 CVPI for a few years until I read up on what they do. Some people over saturate the filters when they respray them causing problems.

                              agreed, waste of money. Project Farm on youtube did some filter tests and found that the K&N is less restrictive but also lets more fine particles through. I'll take a bit of restriction to not be sand blasting the inside of my engine.

                              There is a small restrictor thing at the inlet of the air box. Remove that if you want it to sound faster.
