why wont my 2007 lincoln towncar go into gear
why wont car go into gear acts like it will reverse but does not

The ever-elegant Town Car, which can seat 6 in comfort, lives on as one of a dying breed in an SUV world. America's highways were once a sea of full-sized domestic luxury cars, but because of rising fuel prices and evolving trends, those days are long gone..
Lincoln's version of the land-yacht is available in four trim levels. It's the surviving option for the car buyer who likes spaciousness and plush comfort, yet doesn't want to have to climb into a towering behemoth. This breed of buyer is certainly discerning - and nearly always grey of hair. Lincoln's legendary ocean-liner of the asphalt boasts best-in-class front and rear hip room, shoulder room, front head room, and trunk space (21 cubic feet). This year there's a new, even longer incarnation, the L trim, which measures in with an additional half-foot of length. A more important newsflash for 2007 is the introduction of a standard flexible-fuel engine, which lends this land-barge a dose of environmental friendliness. Town Cars with this engine are sold in all states except for the same ones that are non-diesel; those sold in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont feature a traditional gasoline-burning engine with the same specs (4.6-liter, single overhead cam V8). Besides that there are no real changes to report this year, but the following additions were made to the list of standard equipment: dual-zone auto climate control, power-adjustable pedals, door-mounted programmable keyless entry keypad. All but the lowest-price trim get a power open/close trunk lid and available trunk organizer. Three additional paint colors/finishes bring the total of choices to 16. Lincoln is proud to note that its Town Car has earned 5 stars in NHTSA frontal crash-testing for the seventh consecutive year. State-of-the-art air bags, ABS, and traction control are all standard, making this a safe vehicle for sure.

A little over a year ago our Town Car lost its smooth ride. My wife shows me with what I call the "Jurassic Park" test. She has a glass of water in the center console cup holder and it ripples as the car is moving at a steady speed on the highway. It did not do this when we obtained the car with 12,000 miles on it. It has 106,000 now. It's her 4th Town Car and she knows how they are supposed to ride. She also noticed that the left and right rear of the car are at different heights, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch different. We took it to a private mechanic who replaced the shocks with higher quality aftermarket shocks, thinking that would fix it and it did not. He said we would have to take it to a dealership and have them adjust it with a tool only the dealers have. We took it to a Ford dealer and they said that it needs Ford shocks, not the ones that the previous mechanic put on. I said, if that will fix it then ok. We also had them put on new tires, so they would not say "Its your tires". They recommend and put on Michelin Defender Tires, The ride is still not smooth like it should be and they are saying "Its because of the car has 106K miles". The rear left and right heights are still different too. Any Ideas?
i done looking for the code under d door panel but it didnt had it there didnt had it in the trunk i didnt had the car in d glove box either? how can i get the code only tag i found was i the picture i posted
Where is the sensor? Some days my suspension is fine other days not
I have a 2007 Lincoln Town Car and a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis. The Lincoln is making a growling noise just as it shifts out of overdrive that sounds fatal. Can I put the Mercury transmission in the Lincoln? What issues will I encounter? Thank you! My email is mustang15@gmail.com
