Why is Your 1985 Marquis’s Transmission So Important?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1985 Mercury Marquis transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, 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 find that you can't drive your Marquis at all.

1985 Mercury Marquis Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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 I tow in a Mercury Marquis? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. 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.
  • How often does my Marquis transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1985 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercury Marquis? Yes. Mercury Marquis 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.

  • Can I still drive my Mercury Marquis if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Marquis with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
