2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chrysler? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Chrysler, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Chrysler PT Cruiser transmission fluid leak? 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.
