- 1999 Mercury Mountaineer
I have a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 rwd that’s completely stock with 394,000 original miles that still runs and looks amazing. My dad handed it down to me and I had to do some maintenance on it especially to the suspension but now I am having a hard 1-2 shift from the trans i have checked the fluid level and it’s good the fluid isn’t bright red but has good color and does not smell burned but the last time the fluid was changed was at 75,000 miles lol my dad never changed it after that and told me that he was told not to because it would just kill the transmission so my question is should I attempt to change or flush the transmission at this mileage knowing it hasn’t been changed for so long?
