Lincoln Continental Engines and Transmissions

The Lincoln Continental engine lineup included petrol and diesel choices. One example, the 2.4 AT, combines diesel power with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, suiting an unhurried driving style. When inspecting one, check that it starts readily from cold and changes gears smoothly once warm.
