Questions About 2013 Fiat 500’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Fiat'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 Fiat 500? Think twice before volunteering to tow a 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. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Fiat 500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Fiat. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Fiat 500 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Fiat 500 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 500 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 does Fiat 500 transmission repair? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair 500 transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Should I avoid driving my Fiat 500 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 500 if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
