When one thinks of a Lincoln LS, the first thing that comes to mind is a small four door sedan that wasn’t around for very long. The production run for the LS was only for about six years, which produced around 263,000 cars in all. 2,331 of those models were powered by a 3.0 liter DOHC 24V V6 and were equipped with a Getrag 221 5-speed manual transmission, like the one Grassroots Motorsports.

Introduced for the 2000 model year, the midsize, rear-drive LS is Lincoln's most advanced vehicle in terms of technology and engineering, and it has attracted a much younger clientele than Lincoln car dealerships are traditionally used to seeing. Unfortunately, it has never attracted these buyers in the numbers that Lincoln would like.
From the start, the Lincoln LS was aimed squarely at the European brands and, specifically, BMW and Mercedes buyers. In 2003, the LS benefited from extensive updates that saw its 3.9-liter V8 pick up an additional 28 horsepower for a total of 280. Minor transmission and suspension improvements were added for 2004 to further refine the Lincoln's road manners and shift quality. The 2004 model year also saw interior improvements designed to give the Lincoln car a more upscale ambience (real walnut trim found its way to the options list) along with more storage space. Features like side curtain airbags, a high-grade sound system and an onboard navigation system were also added to the options list.
Plunk down about $40,000 and you get a well-mannered V8-powered entry-level luxury sedan with plenty of room for four adults. That the LS is an agreeable car is not in doubt. More of a concern for potential buyers, though, is what else one can get in the $35,000 to $50,000 price range. It's here that our interest in the Lincoln LS starts to wane. More power and style can be had from Chrysler's 300C and 300C SRT-8, for instance. And if one doesn't focus on a V8 requirement, there's also the more refined Acura TL or the new BMW 330i and Lexus IS 350. The 2006 Lincoln LS is still worth a look, but there are at least a half-dozen competitors we'd look at first.
21Hi all,
I have a 2005 Lincoln LS and the car seems to shift hard, during all typed of driving. It has been doing this since I purchased the car and I have had it looked at by the dealer on several occassions, each time they told me they could not find and problems with it. has anyone else had this problem, if so what was wrong with it. Any advice would help. My LS is the Sport with the V8.
Thanks
Lincoln Ls Manual Transmission Swap
I have had that problem with my 2005 also. It's because it has an electronic transmission for faster shifts, but it isn't very refined. Mine became smoother in normal driving after adding fluid, my dealer did it.
is it an auto ?! if yes have the transmission oil been changed from the time u bought it ! if not replace the old oil 70 % of all the auto tranny problems r solved by this because transmission oil too have a life so they start to become thick and clog the valve control body of the tranny system
My 2005 has started this too. I am going to have the trans serviced. Then change the control solenoid. Thank you all for the info. I love my LS. I am only 5'4' so it fits me well. Mr ROC
I had my tranny fluid changed which made it shift even harder. the mechanic told me to take it to Ford and have them reset the computer. So I pulled the battery cable off for a minute and put it back on to reset the computer. Now the car shifts like it should... Try this first, its free
Ford dealerships know all about the faulty transmission in the 2005 LS and if they say they don't they are lying. I was told by my dealership that Ford has allocated so much money to help the cusumer pay for the replaceement of the transmission and that's exactly what my dealership did for me. I paid $2,500 out of a $4,500 replacement charge and my problems started while I still was under warranty and they refuse to acknowledge the faulty transmission. They said they couldn't find a thing wrong with it until I finally threaten to contact Ford about the issue and I discovered more information on-line. BOY, did they spill the beans on the faulty design issue with this model and year. But I'm still out $2,500. I'll never buy an other Ford product as long as I live and I'll be telling a whole lot of people about Ford and it's honesty
I need an answer myself! I have a 2004 Lincoln LS V8 and it's doing the exact same thing! I am so pissed about this, because Ford has had a recall/Extended and refuse to replace the Ignition Coils and Spark Plugs because my car has 126k Miles on it. I have made a complaint against them with the BBB and the Michigan Attorney Generals Office. I will ultimately contact the FCC and the FTC and the Media, if the don't fix my car ASAP!!!! I will never purchase another FORD!
I just purchased a lincoln ls 2004. My boyfriend has a transmission shop and he determined it needs a computer reflash... he said first check your pan and make sure
Make sure you're pan is completely clean with no debris whatsoever then a computer flash. .. Right you're of fluid must be used too.. hope this helps
I have a 05 ls v8 and i recently change the right rear hub assembly and now my traction control light is blinking on my dash and after a few mins of starting my car i get a message sayin check advanced trac plz sombody help me reset this oh and i also tried disconnecting the batt but that didn't work ether.
Desperate need for help!!!i have a 2001 lincoln ls v8 I bought the car for a great price knowing it had this problem but I cannot figure it out. The engine runs perfect but not the same for the trans. When you put it into reverse you feel it go into gear, but it will barely move no matter how much you rev it. If you put it in d5 it does the same thing you can feel it go into gear but barely will move, if you pull it down into d1 it will go into gear then it will jerk again and you can go but you have to manually switch gears, they all work fine but you have to shift manually. When you get goin down the highway and you go to pass some one and get on it a little it will slip out of gear and you have to pull it down to d4 till it goes back into gear??? And it sound like the bearing in like a pully is going bad but it sounds like it's coming from the bell housing? And it was saying check transmission so I ran the codes and there were only two there was the output shaft sensor no signal. I changed it and no more check transmission or E on dash. The other was a p0840.
I have a 2002 Lincoln LS. My car has issues shifting from time to time too. The transmission has been torn apart 3 times and they couldn't find anything. The Ford Dealership and a mechanic couldn't figure it out either. Mine has been doing it for 7 years. Be thankful. It won't get any worse.
Please help I have a 2003 Lincoln LS that shits hard and does not shift into fifth gear the car has 143,000 miles runs good tranny just shits hard it will shift into fifth gear going down a hill but as soon as I accelerate it kicks it in to fourth even on the freeway please help
I just got my 2003 Lincoln ls 3.0l fixed with the same problems you guys are talking about. First they found that the servo pin was broken so they fixed that and replaced the solenoid pack took it for a test drive didn't even make it out of the shop. So they did more digging and found a service bulliton and it said to test the computers voltage and it should be at .74 and if its around .23 the computer needs to be replaced mine was at .22. So by the computer being bad. I guess it increased the pressure which snapped the servo and fried the solenoid pack so get the computer checked when you have hard ahifting. Right now I'm just waiting to see if they can find a computer cause there was only 1 left in North America for $975 this car is nice but dissapointing
Anyone who has the hard shifting get your computer check because I had hard shifting and I got the feelin oil change and the servo pin snap and it was still shifting hard so they check the voltage in the computer and it was at .23 when it should be at .74 and I was told that the computer should be recalled and that's why the Lincoln shift so hard and it bangs and a kiss so get the computer check because that's the culprit in most of the Lincoln LS a shifting hard it cost me $2,400 1000 of it was for the computer and the rest was labor and I needed a new cylinoid pack And servo pin
Which computer are you guys referring to. I just purchased a 2003 Lincoln LS, and I was aware of the hard shifting. So I figured I pay for the vehicle, then pay for the repairs and labor and it should equate to a reasonable purchase. I'm all about DYI, so I wanted to confirm which computer do I need checked before I start to change parts and perhaps do unnecessary work. I rather work smarter than harder.
I own a 2004 Lincoln ls v8 and it shifts really hard once I get in between 2 and 3 on the rpm . How do I reset the computer and will that help. And will Lucas caster oil help I've been told it would
I have a 2003 Lincoln LS and it's also seems like the transmission is banging on second gear and also when coming down from 3rd gear. I brought it to the shop and they told me that my motor mount bushings were bad and when the transmission shifts gearss, the trany moves and that's what is causing the banging due to bad motor mount bushings. I just ordered them and will put them in tomorrow, ill let you guys know how it turns out, peace
I've a 2003 with the same issues replaced the fluid and filter still no change replace the valve body there was a little better then found out that the cute computer was bad so that's being replaced right now cost of that was around 1200 bucks glad I'm not paying that
Still aint got an answer..everybody still getting robbed..thats a nice car..we need answers
Go a 2005 Lincoln LS v6 with reverse not pulling but hard engaging, motor runs great!
Common problem with the LS...The fix is a after market valve body shift kit. I did my own but I'm also a veteran factory technician. Disassembly and drilling required for kit.
