Troubleshooting for Automatic Transmission in Ford Puma

I have been experiencing issues with the automatic transmission in my Ford Puma. It often gets stuck in gear or has trouble shifting smoothly. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Emily, this could be caused by a few different things. First, check the transmission fluid levels to make sure they are at the appropriate level. If they are low, top up the fluid. If the fluid is dirty or smells burnt, it may need to be changed.

Another common issue is with the transmission solenoids. These control the flow of transmission fluid and can cause shifting problems if they are malfunctioning. Have a mechanic check and potentially replace these if necessary.

Additionally, there could be an issue with the transmission control module. This is responsible for regulating the shifting of gears and can malfunction, causing problems. If this is the case, it will likely need to be replaced.
