Questions About 1983 Dodge W250’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge W250? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your W250 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your W250 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my W250 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Dodge W250’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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 my Dodge W250 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge W250 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.

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.
