Are there transmission problems in a Mercury Mountaineer?
Our 2004 had trouble after quick stops- the engine would race and then finally shift into gear. It also started to leak. The guy at the transmission shop said that these are notoriously bad tranny’s and they’re only good for about 70K (ours had 63K).
What kind of Mercon does a Mercury Mountaineer use?
My 2001 Mountaineer’s 4R70W transmission overheats. I replaced the filter and drained the fluid from the torque converter drain plug. I filled the transmission with 12 quarts of Mercon V. The capacity is 13.9 quarts.
Why does my Mercury Mountaineer make a clunk noise?
I have a 2010 Mountaineer. When I’m at 50 miles or higher and I leave off the gas or step on the gas there is a clunk noise. It doesn’t do it cold but after ten minutes or so it starts. It feels like a universal joint would act when it was going bad in the old rear wheel drive cars.
What’s the MSG on a Mercury Mountaineer?
Turning the car off/on resets the msg and sometimes don’t show up for the rest of the trip and runs ok. In the workshop#1 (general) I was told the scan shows code 775; solenoids out of range.

Why is my Mercury Mountaineer making a noise?
At higher speeds the noise disappears and runs fine. It appears usually on cold days and does not subside when the car warms up. I had it at a trans shop and he found nothing wrong, but did hear the noise. He changed the fluid and filter.

Why is my mercury transmission shifting the wrong gears?
The TCM sends signals to the solenoid pack and into the electronic transmission solenoids controlling whichever gear is being shifted. The programming error is causing the wrong signals to be sent to the electronic solenoids, and the Mercury transmission is shifting the wrong gears.
Are there any problems with the Mercury transmission solenoid?
The transmission solenoid controls the flow of transmission fluid throughout the transmission of a Mercury automobile. Many technical service bulletins (TSB) and consumer reports cite problems with the solenoid in some Mercury models such as the Sable, Grand Marquis, Mountaineer or Cougar.

What causes a hard shift on a Jaguar?
The hard shifting and transmission slipping is commonly a result of software inadequacies, which do not account for all variables as the transmission heats to normal operating conditions. In some cases, the automatic transmission may be suffering from a damaged valve body or faulty shift solenoids.

Turning the car off/on resets the msg and sometimes don’t show up for the rest of the trip and runs ok.
Where is the transmission fluid plug on a Mercury Mountaineer?
Adding transmission fluid to a Mercury Mountaineer is a bit different, however. A Mountaineer does not have a dipstick on the transmission; instead, it has a plug that releases fluid and also allows operators to add fluid. The plug is located on the side of the transmission and can be difficult to reach.
Is there a problem with my Mercury Mountaineer?
I have a 2004 Mountaineer with about 55,000 miles on it and we have experienced the same problem of skipping and transmission problems when in reverse from the time we bought it. The dealership always said they could find nothing wrong with it. Now it is whirring and just stops dead. If you wait a few minutes it will start again.
How much transmission fluid does a mountaineer take?
Place a fluid level tube into the hole and attach a small funnel to the end of the tube. Pour the transmission fluid into the funnel until the compartment is full. A completely dry Mountaineer will generally take around five quarts of fluid. Replace the plug and start the engine.
What makes a torque converter shudder at low speed?
Torque Converter Shudder Problems. A torque converter is the fluid coupling between an engine and transmission that allows the engine to idle at low speed without engaging the transmission. A torque converter uses an engine-driven turbine (fan) to push fluid through a matching turbine attached to the transmission.

When the transmission shifts hard, it can damage internal components including valve bodies, hydraulic lines, and in some cases mechanical gears. If you notice your transmission is shifting harshly or roughly, you should contact a local ASE certified mechanic as soon as possible.
What causes the transmission solenoid on a mercury to jerk?
The Mercury transmission solenoid builds up fluid and causes the gears to jerk when shifting or hesitating during acceleration. This transmission solenoid problem is attributed to fluid seeping from the vents and into the solenoid pack, causing too much transmission fluid to enter the control solenoids.
