Questions About 1996 Dodge Avenger’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use 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. Defying your Avenger towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Avenger is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Avenger's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Dodge Avenger’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 Dodge. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Dodge Avenger? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Avenger, 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my Dodge Avenger if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
