What’s the Importance of Your 1990 Mustang’s Transmission?

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 Mustang’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Mustang transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Ford Mustang transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Mustang isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1990 Ford Mustang’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Mustang’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Mustang transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1990 Mustang’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.
  • Can Ford Mustang transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Mustang, potentially causing transmission problems.
