What Does Your Geo Metro Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1996 Geo Metro transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Geo Metro transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Metro’s not even driveable.

1996 Geo Metro Questions & Answers

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Geo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Metro’s towing capacity. 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.
  • Does my Metro's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Geo Metro transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Geo, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Geo Metro transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Geo Metro can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Metro 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 can fix my  Geo Metro transmission leak? 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 Metro transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Should I avoid driving my Geo Metro if there is 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.
