Questions About 2006 Ford Five Hundred’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Ford Five Hundred? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Five Hundred towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • When should I have my Five Hundred's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Five Hundred’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Five Hundred? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Five Hundred, potentially causing transmission problems.
