What are the main causes of transmission failure in a Ford Galaxy?

I have been experiencing some issues with the transmission in my Ford Galaxy. The car sometimes shifts gears abruptly and it makes a strange noise when driving. I am wondering what could be causing this and if there are any steps I can take to prevent or fix transmission failure in my car.

Transmission failure in a Ford Galaxy is often caused by low transmission fluid, worn out gears or faulty sensors. It is recommended to regularly check the transmission fluid level and have it changed every 30,000 miles. It is also important to have the gears and sensors inspected during routine maintenance.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Galaxy and it turned out to be a faulty transmission control module. Make sure to have it checked by a certified mechanic.

If you notice any strange noises or vibrations while shifting gears, it could be a sign of a worn-out clutch. Replacing the clutch is expensive but it is better to do it sooner rather than later to avoid more damage to the transmission.
