What Does Your Lincoln MKZ Transmission Do?

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 MKZ’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2013 Lincoln MKZ transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Lincoln MKZ transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your MKZ isn’t working at all.

2013 Lincoln MKZ Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lincoln's brakes? 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 my Lincoln tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your MKZ’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my MKZ transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Lincoln MKZ’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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 Lincoln, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lincoln MKZ? Yes. Lincoln MKZ 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.

Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your MKZ to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
