my mountaineer is at 90,000 miles i bought it used at 55,000 miles. i have no idea if the transmission fluid was ever changed on it. its a sealed system so i have to take it to the dealer. i was reading a few answers people have given stating that if the transmission fluid was never changed before than you shouldn't bother changing it at all. so i need to know what to do here. when im driving it feels different than it used to, like a slightly harder shift in the gears and a slight pulling feeling when i accelerate. could be all in my head or could not.don't know if that has anything to do with the transmission fluid or something completely different, but i am assuming it does because of the whole gear shifting thing.i am extremely paranoid because my husband is in iraq and i don't want to break this vehicle before he comes home. everyone else says it seems fine but they've never driven it, only myself and my husband have. please help!! any info or advise is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
2004 mountaineer transmission question?
If the car was maintained properly the trans oil has been changed take in and have it done also ask the dealer if there are any recalls on this.The reason some people don't want to change trans oil with high miles the new oil is high in detergent and will break up any deposits which sometimes will cause a problem.
