2003 Isuzu Ascender Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Isuzu'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.
  • What can I tow in a Isuzu? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Ascender towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ascender is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Ascender transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Isuzu Ascender’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Isuzu's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Isuzu Ascender leak transmission fluid? Yes. Isuzu Ascender 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.
  • Where can I get my  Isuzu Ascender transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Ascender transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Isuzu Ascender if there is a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
