Ford Powertrain & Transmission Services



Protecting the Heart of Your Ford


The powertrain is the muscle behind your machine. It consists of the engine, transmission, driveshaft, differentials, and axles. These components work together to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Given the complexity of modern vehicles, particularly the 10-speed automatic transmissions found in the F-150 and Mustang, you need specialized care to keep them running smoothly. Arrow Ford is Abilene’s premier destination for certified powertrain maintenance and repair.


Expert Transmission Repair and Maintenance


Transmission issues are among the most feared car repairs due to their complexity. However, many failures can be prevented with routine maintenance. Transmission fluid acts as both a lubricant and a coolant; over time, it breaks down and loses its ability to protect intricate gear sets.

Maintenance & Care

Fluid Exchange: We replace old, burnt fluid with fresh Mercon LV or ULV fluid, specifically required for Ford's modern high-efficiency transmissions.

Filter Replacement: We replace clogged filters that can starve your system of fluid, preventing slipping and overheating.

Precision Diagnostics: We use computer diagnostics to check solenoid performance and pressure levels for delayed engagement or rough shifting.


Differential and Transfer Case Service


For our 4x4 and AWD customers in Abilene, the transfer case and differentials are critical components for navigating off-road terrain or slick boat ramps. Like your transmission, they use specialized gear oil that requires interval changes to prevent gear grinding and failure.

Signs of Trouble

Unusual Noises: Grinding or whining while accelerating, or loud clunking when shifting from Park to Drive.

Fluid Leaks: Bright red fluid on your driveway is a sure sign of a transmission or power steering leak.

Odors: A distinct burning smell usually indicates overheating transmission fluid that has lost its viscosity.
