Why is Your 2006 Spectra5’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2006 Kia Spectra5 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 don’t pay attention to Kia Spectra5 transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Spectra5’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2006 Kia Spectra5’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Kia'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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Kia tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Spectra5’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Spectra5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Kia Spectra5 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Kia'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 Kia Spectra5 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Kia Spectra5 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who can fix my  Kia Spectra5 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Spectra5 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Kia Spectra5 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 Spectra5 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
