What’s the Importance of Your 2006 Mountaineer’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercury Mountaineer transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mercury Mountaineer transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Mountaineer’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2006 Mercury Mountaineer’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercury's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercury Mountaineer? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Mountaineer is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Mountaineer's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2006 Mountaineer’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Mountaineer leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercury Mountaineer, 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.
  • Where can I get my  Mercury Mountaineer transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mountaineer transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Mercury Mountaineer with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Mountaineer to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
