Questions About 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Explorer Sport Trac’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Explorer Sport Trac is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Explorer Sport Trac transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ford Explorer Sport Trac’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 Ford Explorer Sport Trac transmission fluid leak? Yes. Ford Explorer Sport Trac 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.

  • Can I still drive my Ford Explorer Sport Trac if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Explorer Sport Trac if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
