Can Mercury drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury Grand Marquis, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercury Grand Marquis differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Grand Marquis?

A multitude of problems can activate your Grand Marquis’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Grand Marquis malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Marquis?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Marquis should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Grand Marquis?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Grand Marquis’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Grand Marquis forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

2006 Mercury Grand Marquis Drivetrain Service

Your Grand Marquis drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercury, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Grand Marquis and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis to maintain its performance power. Follow Mercury's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mercury Grand Marquis Drivetrain Repairs

We can fix many 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Grand Marquis might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis? Again, it depends!
