What’s the Importance of Your 1986 D21’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Nissan D21 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Nissan D21 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your D21’s not even driveable.

1986 Nissan D21 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Nissan's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Nissan tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your D21’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my D21's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Nissan D21’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Nissan D21 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Nissan D21 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.
  • Who can fix my  Nissan D21 transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair D21 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Nissan D21 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your D21 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
