Report: Transmission Failure Common Due to Front Pump Failure

Mercury Mystique Problem

Me Too

Model Year Affected: 1997

Transmission problems are common in this model, often as a result of a failed front pump. The pump loses its ability to create hydraulic pressure, which an automatic transmission needs to function. A sign of front pump failure can be a whine type noise.
