What Does Your Ford Flex Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Flex’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Flex transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Ford Flex transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your Flex isn’t working at all.

2011 Ford Flex Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? 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 Flex? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Flex’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Flex is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Flex's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 Flex’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. 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 Flex? Yes. Ford Flex 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 can fix my  Ford Flex transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Flex transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ford Flex 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 Flex to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
