Questions About 2005 Honda Insight’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Honda? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Honda Insight? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Insight 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 Insight's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Insight’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 Honda. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Honda Insight? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Honda Insight, 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 Honda Insight transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Insight transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Insight with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Insight if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
