I've been experiencing issues with my Ford Galaxy's transmission, such as shifting delays and jerking movements. I suspect it might be a faulty transmission, but I'm not sure how to diagnose and fix the problem. Can someone provide some guidance on troubleshooting a faulty transmission on a Ford Galaxy?
ReplyHi Marieke, as a car technician with years of experience working with Ford vehicles, I suggest starting by checking the transmission fluid and filter. If they are dirty or low, it could be the cause of the issues. You may also want to get the transmission codes read to identify any specific fault codes. If these steps don't solve the issue, it might be a good idea to take your Ford Galaxy to a trusted mechanic. Good luck!
Hey Marieke, I had a similar issue with my own Ford Galaxy, and after doing some research, I found that some owners had success with a transmission relearn procedure. Basically, it resets the transmission's shift points and can sometimes fix the issue. You can find instructions for the relearn procedure online or take your car to a dealership for assistance. Hope this helps!
Hi Marieke, in addition to the suggestions already mentioned, I would also recommend checking the transmission fluid pressure. If it's too low, it can cause shifting issues. You can either do it yourself with a gauge or have a mechanic do it for you. Don't ignore this issue as it can lead to further damage to the transmission. Best of luck!
