1985 Dodge 600 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 600’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 600's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Dodge 600 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Dodge, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Dodge 600 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Dodge 600 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 600 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I drive my Dodge 600 with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
