What are some common transmission problems in a Ford Galaxy?

I recently bought a used Ford Galaxy and I'm noticing some issues with the transmission. It sometimes shifts gears harshly and makes odd noises. What could be causing this and what should I do to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a faulty transmission control module. This is a common issue in Ford Galaxys and can cause rough shifting and odd noises. I recommend taking your car to a certified Ford mechanic for a diagnostic test.

Another possibility could be a worn out transmission mount. This can cause the transmission to shift harshly and make strange noises. Have a mechanic check the mount and replace it if needed.
