2002 Dodge Neon Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge Neon? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Neon towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Neon's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 Neon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Dodge's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Dodge Neon leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge Neon 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.
