What’s the Importance of Your 1990 80’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Audi 80 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Audi 80 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your 80 isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1990 Audi 80’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Audi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Audi tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your 80 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 80 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 80's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Audi 80’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Audi. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Audi 80? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Audi 80, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who fixes Audi 80 transmission leaks? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 80 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Audi 80 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your 80 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
