Why is Your 1987 Aerostar’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Aerostar’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Aerostar transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Ford Aerostar transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Aerostar at all.

Questions About 1987 Ford Aerostar’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Aerostar’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Aerostar is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Aerostar's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Ford Aerostar transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Ford Aerostar transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Aerostar, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Ford Aerostar transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Aerostar transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Aerostar with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
