Can anyone help?  Bought a 2000 Lincoln LS and engine light is on, won't go into 4th/5th gear.  There is an E where it should show what gear I am in.  The garage is stumped.  Hoping that someone can help.  Thanks

Yah I can tell you that you are about to spend some serious cash to get it fixed. I dropped over 2k when my car was having the same problem....... Shoot me an email if you have more questions.

Sillinoids were replaced,
upper and lower value body!
$$$$$

I am having the same problem and every time I take it to a different mechanic they say it is the pressure control in solenoid C error code p0795. I am really tired of fixing this car. I have replaced this solenoid 3 times. I don't know what else to do. Did you find a solution to your problem?

Are you taking this to a dealer, or to a local transmission shop, or a general repair shop?

Did the shop mention DTC's P0734 and P0735 to any of you.  These codes sometimes set with this problem in addition to the P0795.  The 2000-2002 LS was equipped with a 5R55N trans and this was a common problem.  If your valve body is removed you will more than likely find a broken spring on your 4-3 prestroke valve.  You can order a replacement spring from Sonnax from this link - Vhttp://www.sonnax.com/part_summary.php?id=3812&pl=3
