Transmission has a weak point in that the overdrive clutch is too small. Must use genuine Mercon V fliud with a can of limited slip differential fluid to prevent OD clutch chatter. 26 mpg hwy, 20 mpg city.

That's good to know. Come to think of it, I did have some problems not too long after I bought mine (it had about 20K on it when I got it) with the air suspension. I can hear the pump occassinally, which makes me nervous. I have also read posts on a Lincoln forum about AS problems.
Don't know why my mileage is so low. Probably has something to do with the fact that I have almost all city driving on the car.
