Lincoln Continental Engines and Transmissions

The Cabrio and Coupe 4.5 MT versions illustrate the Lincoln Continental engine and transmission pairing: gasoline power, a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. You operate the clutch and choose gears yourself, so frequent stops require more involvement than they would with an automatic transmission.
