1983 Mercury Capri Questions & Answers

  • What can I tow in a Mercury? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Capri towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
