What Does Your Geo Prizm 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, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1990 Geo Prizm transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Geo Prizm transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Prizm’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1990 Geo Prizm’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Geo's brakes? 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 my Geo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Prizm 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.
  • Does my Prizm's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Geo Prizm 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 Geo. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Geo Prizm leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Geo Prizm, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Geo Prizm 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 Prizm transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I still drive my Geo Prizm if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Prizm with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
