Questions About 2002 Mercury Mountaineer’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercury? 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.
  • How much can my Mercury tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Mountaineer 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 Mountaineer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercury Mountaineer’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 Mercury Mountaineer transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercury Mountaineer can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Mountaineer ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
