Used Mercury Transmission

Mercury is the discontinued division of Ford Motors. Established as early as 1938, Mercury served as a mid-priced division of Ford. During most of its existence, it helped bridge the gap between the Ford and Lincoln models. During its short tenure, it competed with Buick from General Motors, Oldsmobile models, and Chrysler's DeSoto models. Owing to predatory lineups from their brand, Ford discontinued Mercury in January 2011. Moreover, their market share and sales continuously saw a decline post-2000s. Nevertheless, it remains an active, registered trademark of Ford Motors. Though the brand has gone defunct, the used Mercury transmission is still relevant owing to its interoperability. They have launched some of the best models and lineups up to until the 2010s. We will look into the evolution of Mercury models, lineups, engines, and transmissions over the years starting from 1938 to 2011. Without further ado, let's dive straight into it.

Mercury before 1950s

Mercury debuted with the 1939 Eight (1st gen), which came fitted with a 3-speed manual transmission. With a close to 4 L engine, it pumped out a massive 95 hp. The first car from Mercury reached a top speed of 84 mph. The Eight Convertible (2nd Gen) launched in 1941 touched the 100 hp mark. Reaching a top speed of 78 mph, it did a 0 to 60 mph in under 22 seconds. 1946, Eight (2nd Gen) model reached a top speed of 80 mph and did a 0 to 60 in under 21 seconds. Later, they introduced their wagon, the Eight Marmon-Herrington in the same year. In the following year, they introduced the M Series, a lineup of semi-pickup trucks. They launched two elongated sedans in 1949 the Eight Coupe (3rd Gen) and Eight Wagon (3rd Gen), closing in on a 0 to 60 in almost 20 seconds. Nevertheless, you are hardly going to see pre-1950 Mercury models on U.S. roads today. These models started with a 3-speed manual powertrain.

The 1950 Monterery Hardtop featured a 4.1 L engine pulling 110 hp. Fitted with a 3-speed manual transmission, it reached a top speed of 83 mph and did 0 to 60 mph in under 20 seconds. In the same year, they released the Bob Hope Special Concept car. A couple of years later, they launched Custom Coupe, which came fitted with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The 4.1 L engine pumped out a horsepower of 125 hp, reaching a top speed of 88 mph, and did a 0 to 60 mph in 17.3 seconds. Similarly, the 1952 Monterey (1st Gen) returned almost identical figures and specifications. Also, they launched a Monterey Convertible (1st gen), again with almost identical specifications. Breaking the 100 mph mark, they came up with a semi-pickup in 1952 M Series II. A couple of years later, they came up with the XM 800 Concept car.

Mercury post-1955

The first whiff of pace is the 1955 Custom Coupe doing 0 to 60 mph in 12.1 seconds. The 1955 Montclair (1st Gen) employing a 3-speed transmission bettered the 0 to 60 mph in just 8.3 seconds. The 5 L engine pumped out 260 hp and reached a top speed of 118 mph. Later, the 1956 Medalist Coupe with its 5.1 L engine produced horsepower of 260 hp, a top speed of 116 mph, and achieved 0 to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds. Around the same time, Mercury also used a 3-speed manual transmission in models in M Series III to appeal to hot rod enthusiasts. Later, Mercury released models capable of generating 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just over 7 seconds, with 1958 Park Lane (1st Gen) being a classical example. The Park Lane used a 7 L engine and 3-speed automatic transmission. It produced a horsepower of 400 hp and reached a top speed of 132 mph. These were impressive pace and acceleration in the 1950s and 1960s.

Mercury also experimented with 2-speed automatic transmissions in the 1960s. The 1963 Meteor Country Cruiser (2nd Gen) used a 2-speed automatic transmission and a 4.2 L engine. The large engine produced a horsepower of 164 hp, helping the car accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 14 seconds. Also, thanks to the large engine and lighter power train, it hit the 100 mph mark. Throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s, Mercury alternated between 2-speed automatic, 3-speed automatic, 4-speed automatic, 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual and 5-speed manual transmissions. With larger engines, the models put up impressive power, racking up tons of hp. The cars made their way to the top of the auto trends even post-2000s.
