Lincoln Towncar

Does anyone know if the transmission from an 03 Towncar will fit an 04 Marauder? I have a chance to get one cheap and if it fits, I will have it rebuilt and Jmod-ed for future installation in my Marauder.

The Town car transmission physically bolts in, but the 2003 year model transmission has a different ring gear for the output shaft speed sensor from the 2004 year model transmission. The PCM in your 2004 car will need to be tuned to match the OSS speed signal from the 2003 transmission. I am told this can be done with an SCT hand held tuner.

never head back from you, so I assume you chose not to go this route.

btw, here is a picture of the 2 output shaft ring gears I was talking about. 96-2003 has 6 recessed holes. 2004-2011 has 24 extended lugs. consequently, the 2004 and up speed sensor is .100" shorter.
