What’s the Importance of Your 2005 Focus’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Focus’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2005 Ford Focus transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Ford Focus transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Focus’s not even driveable.

2005 Ford Focus Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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 volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. 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. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Ford Focus leak transmission fluid? 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. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Ford Focus transmission fixed? When your Focus transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
