Or at the minimum a 5-speed auto with manual mode. The auto in mine is what finally gave out. Had the low-speed shudder that got progressively worse.
Fun fact, there was a guy that was making Vortec adapter kits for them for a while. Called them TerminVIIIors or something like that.
Sorry to hear about your Mark! Mine is in rough shape paint and appearance wise, but 80k on the car itself! Runs and drives quite well. I actually just picked up a clutch pedal for it, so I'll hope to complete the manual swap sometime in the future.
Then the 80k mile Mark trans can go into my 180k mile Town Car
I've seen some really nice boosted setups for the Mark VIII. I even saw a cheap turbo special on YouTube making 400whp through the auto. Such an underrated machine.
