Questions About 2008 Mercury Mariner’s Transmission

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercury? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Mariner towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Mariner is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Mariner's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mercury Mariner’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercury, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Mercury Mariner leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercury Mariner 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a Mariner with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
