8/11/2012 JimmFirst step - have the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system checked for any stored fault codes. The issue may be related to the lock-up torque converter or torque converter control solenoid.

Car runs 2200 rpm @ 40mph get 13mpg. Then changes on own to 1500rpm @ 40mph. Get 33mpg. Why?brad - 2006 Mercury Mariner - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 7/28/2012No a/c being used. No check engine lights.-
7/28/2012 JimmThe actual mileage is a variable, and will vary based on; driving conditions, road conditions, traffic, engine health (state-of-tune), wind, elevation, road incline, wheel alignment - and other factors. It may be what you are describing is the MPG readout on the instrument panel? If all conditions are OK - no driveability or performance issues - such as no engine warning lights - then this is normal.
The lower engine RPM at certain speeds is governed by the transmission - whether in overdrive or not. When in overdrive gear, the engine turns over less speed (less RPMs) to increase fuel mileage and decrease engine wear.

My transmission hose is broken and I need to know where to look to find a diagram to learn how to fix it or chsnge it?mjan - 1999 Mercury Sable - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 7/22/2012My transmission hose broke and fluid leaked out . I need to get pictures on how to change it?-
7/22/2012 JimmNeed more information - is this the flexible rubber transimission hose, or the rigid transmission line or tubing that is leaking? The repair is similar - only less time and cost with the flexible hose.
Try the 'How-To-Guides' feature on the AutoMD website - or you may try the repair guides found at this website; www.autozone.com.

I have an video explaining what happened after I added brake fluid to the master cylinder and now my car won't shift.Getmoneymadness - 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 7/14/2012I have an video explaining what happened after I added brake fluid to the master cylinder and now my car won't shift. I need anyone's help in what I should do next. Thanks

7/14/2012 JimmAdding brake fluid to the brake master cylinder does not affect the transmission or the shifting. The hydraulic brake system is separate from the transmission.
Can you provide more specific detail about the issue you are having?
