Common Ford Transmission Problems & Solutions

Ford vehicles are American-made, and they have that strong, durable spirit of American values to back it up. Trustworthy construction that carries through the ages is just one facet of Ford design – and part of why several models from the brand continue to be Consumer Reports Recommended models year after year (like the Ford Mustang, F-150, Maverick, and Bronco Sport).¹ That being said, you can expect your Ford to last two decades when properly cared for and maintained on a regular basis.

Ford models occasionally run into some common transmission issues – but nothing so significant that a regular transmission fluid change can't solve it. RepairPal suggests that drivers often report harsh or delayed gear shifting can be common,² something our team can address with automatic transmission service. Fluid leaks are also reported by some drivers, according to the same vehicle connoisseur.²

Regardless of your need for an automatic or manual transmission service, our team is ready to identify and address your concerns. Contact our specialists near Myrtle Beach, SC, for further details.

Ford Transmission Repair vs. Replacement

In some cases, our specialists may have to advise drivers in one of two directions after their vehicle receives Ford transmission service: repair or replacement. If possible, our Capital Ford of Wilmington team can conduct a repair of your Ford transmission. However, some cases may require a full replacement of your transmission for the vehicle to achieve optimal functioning.

FAQ

How often do you need to change the transmission fluid on a Ford?

Your vehicle's specific maintenance schedule for transmission fluid changes and other care is dependent on the condition and age of your Ford model. Newer models tend to house more sophisticated technologies, allowing them to go farther between transmission fluid changes – sometimes up to 100,000 miles. Older models may require this service closer to the 60,000-mile mark. We recommend a discussion with a service advisor for personalized guidance.

Why does my Ford jerk when I shift gears?

There's no shortage of reasons why a Ford model may jerk when shifting gears, but among the most common culprits are:

Dirty fluid
Worn parts
Low fluid levels
Malfunctioning sensors
Engine issues
Transmission failure

The only way to identify the exact problem area is to bring your model into an authorized service center – like Capital Ford of Wilmington – for details from advanced diagnostic data.
