Why is Your 1993 Tempo’s Transmission So Important?

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 Tempo’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Tempo transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Ford Tempo transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Tempo’s not even driveable.

1993 Ford Tempo Questions & Answers

  • 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. 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 weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Tempo is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Tempo's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 Tempo’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Tempo? Yes. Ford Tempo transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Where can I get my  Ford Tempo transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Tempo transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ford Tempo if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Tempo with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
