What Does Your Ford E-250 Econoline Transmission Do?

They're often easy to notice. Ford E-250 Econoline transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Ford E-250 Econoline transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your E-250 Econoline at all.

1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford E-250 Econoline? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your E-250 Econoline’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my E-250 Econoline's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Ford E-250 Econoline 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 transmission fluid leak from my Ford E-250 Econoline? Yes. Ford E-250 Econoline transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who fixes Ford E-250 Econoline transmission leaks? When your E-250 Econoline transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Ford E-250 Econoline if it has 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-250 Econoline to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
