How do I properly maintain the transmission in a Ford Focus?

I just bought a new Ford Focus and I want to make sure I am taking good care of it. What are some tips for properly maintaining the transmission and ensuring it has a long lifespan?

It is important to regularly check the transmission fluid levels and schedule regular fluid changes. This will help prevent any potential issues with the transmission.

Another important aspect is to avoid sudden, aggressive acceleration as it can put unnecessary strain on the transmission. It is always better to accelerate slowly and smoothly.

Regularly cleaning and inspecting the transmission components can also help identify any potential issues before they become major problems. Don't hesitate to take your car to a mechanic if you notice any unusual noises or vibrations.
