Questions About 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chrysler'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.
  • What can I tow in a Chrysler? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my PT Cruiser transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Chrysler PT Cruiser’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 Chrysler. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chrysler PT Cruiser? Yes. Chrysler PT Cruiser transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Chrysler PT Cruiser transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for PT Cruiser transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Chrysler PT Cruiser if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your PT Cruiser if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
