What’s the Importance of Your 2005 Taurus’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Taurus’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2005 Ford Taurus transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Ford Taurus transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Taurus isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2005 Ford Taurus’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Taurus’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Taurus's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Taurus’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Ford Taurus leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Taurus, 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 Taurus transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Taurus transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Taurus with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Taurus if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
