Questions About 2000 Ford Focus’s Transmission

  • 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. 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 Focus? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Focus towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Focus is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Focus's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Focus’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Focus? Yes, your Ford Focus can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Focus ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
