2006 Dodge Stratus 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. 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Stratus towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • 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. 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 Stratus leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Stratus, 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.
