Why is Your 2005 Mustang’s Transmission So Important?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2005 Ford Mustang transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Ford Mustang transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Mustang’s not even driveable.

2005 Ford Mustang Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use 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 it is. 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.
  • When should I have my Mustang's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Ford Mustang transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Ford Mustang leak transmission fluid? Yes. Ford Mustang transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
