What Does Your Dodge Viper Transmission Do?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2003 Dodge Viper transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Dodge Viper transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Viper at all.

2003 Dodge Viper Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? 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 Viper? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Viper is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Viper's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 Viper’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 Dodge Viper transmission fluid leak? Yes. Dodge Viper 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.

  • Can I drive my Dodge Viper with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Viper if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
