Transmission - Leaked fluid until I finally ran it dry. I wasnt aware of the problem until it began to make noises. After adding fluid, it lasted another month, and finally quit.
Odometer - Odometer and Tripmeter stopped functioning, but Speedometer and Tach still function. Could be expensive to replace?
Interior Problems - Parking brake handle is crooked, and caused the rubber seal to tear. Rattles at 95+ mph.
Exhaust - 1st Bank headers developed a hole and had to be welded/repaired. Also, above the CAT, the air condition drips on the exhaust pipe, causing another hole to form. Both fixed for $100.00.
Overall, the car isn't bad for a V6. I find that it has more power on the top end, especially in 4th gear on the interstate.
I have considered getting a CHIP to bypass the speed limiter, but I'm nervous because the car drifts a lot around 110 mph.
Next car will be a Ford Crown Vic (P71)
"speed limiter"? I've taken my '96 up to 240kmh+ (149mph) on an upgrade, vainly trying to keep up with some "crotch rockets". I hate to think where the limiter kicks in. This is no German autobahn cruiser!
Why are you driving 95 MPH?
