1994 Mercury Cougar Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercury'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 Mercury tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Cougar towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Cougar is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Cougar transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercury Cougar’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercury's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercury Cougar? Yes. Mercury Cougar 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.
