Just Dropped my Uncle's 2019 Lincoln Nautilus off at the dealer for him (he's out of town on business)
78k mi, needs a new Transmission. quoted $8k.
it was behaving oddly, so when he had it in for an oil change, had them look at it.
if I'm remembering what he said correctly, they told him the Clutches were coming apart.
and of course, just out of warranty. they gave him a contact at Ford Corp. to see if anything can be done to cover the cost. (this is his 6th Lincoln since 2005*, all but one ordered from new)
they offered to pay $4k(half) of the bill -or- cover the cost of a loaner during the repair..... (also told him if he had made it to 80K mi, they WOULDN'T have been able to do ANYTHING for him)
he took the half price new transmission. he'll just have to drive his Garage queen '17 Continental for the time being.
Driving it over there today, set the Cruise @ 55mph, you could feel an almost constant....slipping...almost like the Torque Converter was constantly locking and unlocking.
* Zephyr, (3) MKX's, Continental, and the Nautilus, which is just a renamed MKX.
