Why is Your 2008 MKX’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. 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 MKX’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Lincoln MKX 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 Lincoln MKX transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your MKX at all.

Questions About 2008 Lincoln MKX’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lincoln? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lincoln tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your MKX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your MKX is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my MKX's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Lincoln MKX’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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 Lincoln. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Lincoln MKX? Yes. Lincoln MKX 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my Lincoln MKX if there is a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
