1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 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 LTD Crown Victoria? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LTD Crown Victoria’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LTD Crown Victoria is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my LTD Crown Victoria transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1987 LTD Crown Victoria’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
