What’s the Importance of Your 1984 Colt’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Dodge Colt transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Dodge Colt transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Colt at all.

1984 Dodge Colt Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? 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 Dodge? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Colt is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Colt's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Dodge Colt’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 Colt? Yes. Dodge Colt 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 can fix my  Dodge Colt transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Colt transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Dodge Colt if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Colt 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.
