1999 Dodge Neon Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Dodge tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Neon towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Neon is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Neon's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Dodge Neon’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. 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 Dodge Neon? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Neon, 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.
