The Ford Transmission System & Fluid Exchange Maintenance 101

The Ford transmission is a sophisticated system with high technologies better left to the Ford experts at our service department that understand the Ford transmission system and its maintenance requirements professionally. Transmissions sent torque variably into the drive wheels as needed given the desired speed, fuel input, and terrain conditions through the use of electronic controls and a series of complex internal gears. Transmission fluid is needed inside the transmission to serve as lubricating oil as well as a power-transferring hydraulic. Given the fact that defective transmission fluid can effectively immobilize a vehicle, we recommend following Ford’s recommendation for your vehicle’s routine transmission fluid inspections and replacement service when its condition and performance become compromised.

If your vehicle begins to experience any of these telltale indicators of defective transmission fluid performance, it is an excellent decision to schedule a transmission inspection and corrective maintenance as needed to restore peak transmission performance in support of your vehicle’s overall comfort, reliability, and safety:

Clunking or whining sounds

A pungent burnt smell near the wheels
