What Does Your Mercury Mountaineer Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Mercury Mountaineer transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Mercury Mountaineer transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Mountaineer at all.

Questions About 2010 Mercury Mountaineer’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercury? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to 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 load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Mountaineer’s towing capacity. 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.
  • When should I have my Mountaineer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2010 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercury Mountaineer? Yes. Mercury Mountaineer 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.
  • 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.
  • Should I avoid driving my Mercury Mountaineer if there is a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
