How to properly maintain the Ford S-Max transmission?

My Ford S-Max's transmission seems to be slipping and making strange noises. How can I prevent this and keep it running smoothly?

Hi Sarah, first of all, make sure to regularly check your transmission fluid levels and change it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration as it can put a strain on the transmission. If the issue persists, it's best to bring it to a certified mechanic for further inspection.

Hey Sarah, you should also consider installing an aftermarket transmission cooler to help keep the temperatures under control. This can prolong the life of your transmission and prevent it from overheating.

Hi there, another important thing to keep in mind is to always engage the parking brake when parked, especially on steep inclines. This will prevent unnecessary strain on the transmission and also avoid any potential accidents.
