1997 Geo Metro Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Geo? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Geo? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's 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.
  • When should I have my Metro's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Geo Metro’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 Geo, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Geo Metro? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Geo Metro, potentially causing transmission problems.
