It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2006 Ford E-150 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Ford E-150 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your E-150 isn’t working at all.

2006 Ford E-150 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your E-150 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my E-150 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ford E-150’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Ford E-150 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford E-150, 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.
  • Who fixes Ford E-150 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair E-150 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a E-150 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your E-150 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
