Why is Your 1990 Spirit’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Dodge Spirit transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Dodge Spirit transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Spirit’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1990 Dodge Spirit’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? 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 my Dodge tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Spirit towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Spirit is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Spirit's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1990 Spirit’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Dodge Spirit transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Dodge Spirit can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Spirit 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.
  • Who does Dodge Spirit transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Spirit transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Spirit with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Spirit to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
