as the title says, I have the ability to buy a mark 8 but it wont shift out of 2nd. could that be a transmission slipping deal? or the TV cable improperly adjusted?
Help me out its 800 OBO. im tryin to talk him down to 650
oh yeah 4.6 dohc.
I wish i knew i want one of those cars really bad except i would like to have a 1997-1998 insted but for the price and if you could get it fixed easy i would take a 1993-1996 anyday for a good price.
i wanna say a sensor.... i hope someone else what i'm talking about. i say buy it.
In 94 that should be 4.6 with the electroninc 4r70w tranny. From what I read no 2nd means that the tranny is on the way out or the electric actuator on the side of the tranny needs to be replaced.
a tranny shop can check the sensors and shift solenoids. there is no TV cable on on an AOD-E/4R70W.
DING! Give him 500 for it.

You may consider doing some research on the MLPS sensor. Check over at TCCoA.
another failing device behind the 4.6 ive noticed is the torque converters. The last of two i had tools on was reving high and not shifting. It would get out of first to second but lock in.
CHECK into the Manual Lever Position Sensor (MLPS) a lot of stores also call them "Neutral Safety Switch".
Usually when the MLPS is going out the car will shift into neutral while cruising down the road. This problem also sounds like it could be the MLPS.
Also check out http://www.lincolnsonline.com or http://www.markviii.org to look into that problem...
Sounds like it needs a 5 speed swap.:hick: :burnout:
