What’s the Importance of Your 1983 Marquis’s Transmission?

Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercury Marquis transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mercury Marquis transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Marquis’s not even driveable.

1983 Mercury Marquis Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercury tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Marquis towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Marquis is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Marquis's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercury Marquis? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercury Marquis, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
