Does Your Ford Need a Transmission Repair?
After the engine, your transmission plays the most important role in your car. When a transmission runs into trouble, your wheels stop turning. If transmission problems aren’t caught and fixed early on, they can rapidly lead to extremely costly repair or replacement jobs. With this in mind, let’s look at four clear signs that you need transmission repair.
Your Fluid Is Leaking
The heat and pressure generated inside a Ford car’s gearbox require a high level of lubrication. Transmission fluid services this function, as well as keeping the temperature down, cleaning out debris from the gears, maintaining hydraulic pressure, and preventing a buildup of rust and oxidization.If your fluid starts to leak, your transmission will rapidly overheat and run into all kinds of trouble. Transmission fluid is most often reddish in hue, and you’ll often spot it pooling under your car in the case of a leak. Don’t hesitate to have a mechanic inspect a potential leak of transmission fluid.

An alternator is a mini electrical generator. This mini generator is powered by the turning crankshaft and produces electricity for all your car’s systems. In time, the alternator can get worn or damaged and you’ll need an alternator repair. As your Ford dealer, we can repair or replace it. These are a few signs that your alternator may be failing.
Dead Battery
A dead battery could be due to age, or it could be a sign of a worn alternator. A car battery has a lifespan of three to five years before it wears out. If your battery is newer than this, the most likely cause of the problem is a worn alternator. As your alternator ages, it will become weaker and produce less electricity.
The alternator is responsible for charging your battery. The battery uses a large amount of power to start your engine, and it depends on the replenishment of this energy by the alternator. A weak alternator, however, may not fully recharge your battery. Each time you start your engine, your battery will weaken until it dies. We can test your alternator and replace it if it’s worn out.
