Don't know unless I could drive it.

But I can educate you on what transmission you have and what it could be.

Your 1990 Town Car has a AOD- Automatic Overdrive Transmission which has been in most cars since the mid 80s and the last year of it was 1991 for the full size Fords. If it comes down to the case of your transmission being unuseable then it is possible to get a transmission from any 1988-1991 full size Ford (that would mean Crown Victoria or the Grand Marquis).

There are to many problems but the Linkage on your car is mechanical not electronic. It's could be as simple as an adjustment or as major as a rebuild. I know of they being a problem with TV cable being out of whack and making the transmission not shift into OD or otherwise known as fourth gear.


Transmissions are really something that most shadetree mechanics don't mess with unless they know what they are doing. It is best left in the Hands of professionals.

Good luck
