What Does Your Jeep J20 Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1984 Jeep J20 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Jeep J20 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your J20’s not even driveable.

1984 Jeep J20 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jeep? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jeep J20? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your J20 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your J20 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my J20's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Jeep J20’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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 Jeep. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Jeep J20 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jeep J20, 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 fixes Jeep J20 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair J20 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Jeep J20 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 J20 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
