What Does Your Geo Metro Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Geo Metro transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Geo Metro transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Metro’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1989 Geo Metro’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Geo's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Geo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Metro towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Metro is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Metro's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 Metro’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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 Geo. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Geo Metro leak transmission fluid? Yes. Geo Metro 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.
  • Who fixes Geo Metro transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Metro transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Geo Metro if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Metro to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
