Questions About 1983 Fiat 124’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Fiat? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Fiat 124? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 124 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my 124 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Fiat 124’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 Fiat, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Fiat 124 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Fiat 124 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 124 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.
