Why is Your 2001 Stratus’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Dodge Stratus transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Dodge Stratus transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Stratus isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2001 Dodge Stratus’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge Stratus? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Stratus’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Stratus is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Stratus's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Dodge Stratus transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Dodge, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Stratus? Yes, your Dodge Stratus can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Stratus 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 fixes Dodge Stratus transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Stratus transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Dodge Stratus if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Stratus 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.
