Why is Your 1987 Grand Marquis’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 Grand Marquis’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mercury Grand Marquis transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Grand Marquis’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercury's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercury Grand Marquis? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Grand Marquis's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1987 Grand Marquis’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Mercury. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercury Grand Marquis? Yes, your Mercury Grand Marquis can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Grand Marquis ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I drive my Mercury Grand Marquis with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
