Questions About 2001 Mercury Villager’s Transmission

  • 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 my Mercury tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Villager’s towing capacity. 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.
  • How often does my Villager transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2001 Villager’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercury Villager? Yes. Mercury Villager transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Mercury Villager transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Villager transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercury Villager if it has 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.
