1986 Mercury Lynx Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercury's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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. Defying your Lynx towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Lynx's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercury Lynx transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mercury Lynx transmission fluid leak? 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my Mercury Lynx if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Lynx if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
