Why is Your 1984 Lynx’s Transmission So Important?

They're often easy to notice. Mercury Lynx transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mercury Lynx transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Lynx at all.

Questions About 1984 Mercury Lynx’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercury's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercury Lynx? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Lynx’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Lynx is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Lynx's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercury Lynx’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Mercury Lynx leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercury Lynx transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Mercury Lynx transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Lynx transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Lynx with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Lynx to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
