Our team here at Fred Beans Ford Newtown in Newtown, PA is excited to show you what makes the Ford Taurus so great. This popular full-sized sedan is equipped with a unique transmission system. It gives you the accessibility of an automatic system with the control of a manual system.
Every Taurus uses a six-speed automatic SelectShift transmission system. The transmission will change gears without any input from you. The gear changes are smooth and seamless to provide you with an exciting driving experience. However, it also gives you the opportunity to override the automatic functions. A small switch on the side of the shift knob allows you to change gears whenever you please.
On the SHO models, Ford incorporated paddle shifters. The shifters are located on both sides of the steering wheel. All it takes is a simple flick of the finger to change gears manually. The unique design of the transmission and the versatility it offers makes the Taurus feel like a powerful sports car.
