Questions About 1996 Mercury Villager’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercury's brakes? 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. 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 Villager is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Villager's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercury Villager transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mercury Villager leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercury Villager transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
