What’s the Importance of Your 1984 RX-7’s Transmission?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Mazda RX-7 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Mazda RX-7 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your RX-7’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1984 Mazda RX-7’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mazda'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 I tow in a Mazda RX-7? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your RX-7’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my RX-7's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1984 RX-7’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mazda'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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mazda RX-7? Yes, your Mazda RX-7 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your RX-7 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who does Mazda RX-7 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for RX-7 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mazda RX-7 if it has 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 RX-7 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
