What are the common issues with Ford Mondeo's transmission?

I've noticed some strange behavior with my Ford Mondeo's transmission. The gears seem to be shifting harder than usual and there's a delayed response when accelerating. What could be causing these issues and how can I address them?

It sounds like your transmission fluid may be low or dirty. This can cause issues with gear shifting and overall performance. I recommend checking the fluid levels and if necessary, flushing and replacing the fluid.

Another potential issue could be with the shift solenoids or the valve body of the transmission. These components control the gear shifts and can become damaged over time. I suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic check and to determine if any repairs are needed.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Mondeo and it turned out to be a faulty torque converter. This can cause delayed response and harsh shifts. I recommend having a mechanic inspect the torque converter and replace if necessary.
