What Does Your Ford Focus Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Ford Focus transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Ford Focus transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Focus isn’t working at all.

2009 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.
  • 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 Focus’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Focus transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ford Focus’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Ford Focus transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Focus, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Ford Focus transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Focus transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Ford Focus with a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Focus with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
