Warning Signs My Ford Needs a New Transmission
More often than not, you will not realize your transmission has problems until it has completely failed. While it is a behind-the-scenes car component that can affect many areas of your Ford, there are warning signs you can take note of to combat the unexpected breakdown.Â
Transmission warning signs can be separated into two categories: Automatic and ManualÂ
Manual Transmissions
- Difficulty or Unable to Switch Gears
- Grinding or a Crunching sound
- Clutch Slips
- Burning Smell or High Engine Revs
Automatic Transmissions
- Slow to Move after Putting Gearshift Lever in Drive or other Forward Gear
- No Movement When Shift into Forwarding Gear
- Bucking and Kicking when Driving
- Slowing Down while Pressing Harder on the Gas Pedal
How Often Should I Replace My Transmission Fluid?
We recommend interval fluid changes for manual transmissions around 30,000 to 60,000 miles. For automatic transmissions, the recommended interval is around 60,000 to 100,000 miles. After the first transmission fluid change, we recommend routine replacement every two to three years or 25,000 to 30,000 miles.Â
The cost of full transmission replacement can be costly, and routinely changing transmission fluid is a preventative measure. The transmission fluid inside enables cooling and lubrication, helping transmit force & pressure and also preventing build-up.Â
It is also best to familiarize yourself with your owner's manual for the best service interval of your Ford year, make, and model.Â
