There have been reports of transmission issues in the 2008 Lincoln MKX, primarily linked to low or dirty fluid, though there have been some instances of other causes. One common problem is a defective speed sensor that monitors transmission speed for shifting gears. A malfunctioning sensor could lead to a harsh shifting experience when moving from park to drive or reverse. Other potential transmission issues may include a faulty solenoid or fluid pump, fluid leaks due to gasket damage or line breakage, as well as significant performance impact from a defective transmission control module.
The transmission issues experienced in the 2008 Lincoln MKX involve difficulties with shifting such as slipping during gear changes and struggling to shift smoothly.
Skips speeds along at a brisk 35 to 50 miles per hour while averaging 11 miles per gallon.

What could be causing my MKX to lose power and shut off?
