1985 Nissan 300ZX Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Nissan? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Nissan 300ZX? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your 300ZX 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.
  • When should I have my 300ZX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Nissan 300ZX’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 Nissan. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Nissan 300ZX? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan 300ZX, 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 Nissan 300ZX transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 300ZX transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Nissan 300ZX 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 300ZX to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
