[ LX model ] Apparently Ford has had nothing but tranny problems with this model transmissino (4R70W) I believe -- in 1993-1997 TBirds/Cougars, 93-98 Lincoln Mark VIII, various 90's Mustangs & Crown Vics.... It's VERY COMMON to have tranny problems with ANY of these models -- be careful if buying this car -- there are TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins -- but no recalls.)
