The Lincoln Mark VIII operates with a 4R70W 4-speed automatic transmission which grants a refined automatic shifting system during driving. The Mark VIII features a short-long arm (SLA) independent suspension system with standard computer-controlled air suspension, which automatically adjusts the ride height at higher speeds.

The Lincoln Mark VIII received two updates during 1997 and 1998 which added a bigger front grille and an aluminum hood to its design. Lincoln Mark VIII owners can rely on genuine OEM parts, which are designed to meet factory specifications and ensure optimal performance and longevity.
