So the daughter tells me the 02 Lincoln Transmission has been doing some stuff. It threw a code on the way back from Georgia a month ago. Then it was fine. It started acting up again last week. took it to a reputable transmission repair shop. It was down about 2 qts of fluid. Which was weird, because I checked it before it went to Georgia and it was perfect. According to the transmission shop. It's common for this transmission, the 4xn something to get hot and push out fluid. He said the clutch packs get worn and long trips really heat them up and they end up failing all together. He said if I drive it local, no long highway, it will last for a long time, highway trips will kill it quick. No road trips, he said. He did a service and said the pan was clean. I had this car since new and it got a transmission pan drop and filter change every 25,000-30,000 miles. My daughter is the only one that really drives the car back and forth from school and college ( dual enrollment). The trips to Georgia to see her brother are over. So I could live with it. I feel like I own less of a car now though. My wife says run it, my daughter is too hard on stuff, doesn't take care of anything and she is not getting the Ford or the Dodge and if a new car comes in the picture, wife is getting it. My daughter only has 1.5 years of school left and she is headed off to the Navy. My wife said it's fine, it's better than any cars we had as teenagers, which I agree. If the daughter wants a Georgia car, let her buy her own.
