Ford Mondeo Gearbox & Transmission Problems

There was a change in 2007 from a four-speed auto to a six-sped auto. The four-speed had a dipstick, check your owner's manual for the location, but the six-speed didn't. You need to take that to a dealer or an auto transmission specialist to have it done.

More than 80 per cent of cars sold in Australia are now automatics and that share is still rising, fast. When companies are looking to cut cost and complications from their line-ups, it's easy to drop a manual that few people want. Between X-Trail and CR-V I give The Tick to the Honda.
