1988 Dodge Omni Transmission Q&A

  • 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. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Omni towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Omni is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Omni's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Dodge Omni transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Dodge Omni leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Dodge Omni can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Omni 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.
