Questions About 1997 Ford Taurus’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 Taurus? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Taurus towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Taurus is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Taurus's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Ford Taurus transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Taurus? Yes, your Ford Taurus can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Taurus ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
