Hi there,
The wrench icon appearing in your Lincoln MKX's dash panel indicate potential problems. Here are the possible causes: 1. Throttle body issue. A faulty throttle body or throttle position sensor can trigger the warning icon. 2. Transmission issues. Problems within the transmission would trigger the warning icon. Problems such as poor acceleration, reduced power, and difficulty starting your vehicle are consequences. 3. Fuel delivery issues. If the fuel system (defective fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, etc.) is not supplying the correct amount of fuel, it can trigger the warning. 4. Ignition issues. A bad spark plug, ignition coil, or a faulty ignition module can trigger the warning as well. I hope this helps!

Take it to the shop and have the transmission serviced ASAP or it will end up tearing it up also have the shift solenoids checked and any transmission sensors that are affiliated with it

As a quality automotive technician I would recommend you take it to a reputable mechanic/technician.
It sounds like your vehicle is going into limp mode to safe guard its self against further damages.

Hi there,
It is best to have a brand new replacement part, not a used part to avoid any issues.
