I am considering buying a Ford Puma, but I have heard that there have been some issues with the transmission. Can someone explain what these issues are and how I can avoid them?
ReplyHi John, as a long-time Ford owner, I can tell you that the Puma's manual transmission can experience some problems if not maintained properly. The common issues include grinding gears, slipping clutch, and difficulty shifting. My advice is to make sure to change the transmission fluid regularly and avoid high-revving the engine when shifting. Also, opt for a professional inspection before purchasing to ensure the transmission is in good condition.
Hey John, I've had my Ford Puma for a few years now and I can say that the automatic transmission can have some issues if not taken care of. One common issue is delayed shifting, especially in the lower gears. To prevent this, make sure to have the transmission fluid flushed and replaced at the recommended intervals. Also, avoid towing anything heavy as it can put a strain on the transmission. Hope this helps!
Hi John, I've owned several Ford Pumas and never had any major issues with the transmission. However, I have noticed that the gearbox can be quite sensitive to rough handling and can develop noises over time. My advice is to avoid driving on rough surfaces and try to shift gears smoothly to maintain the integrity of the transmission. Also, keep an eye out for any fluid leaks and address them immediately.
