Questions About 1983 Peugeot 504’s Transmission

  • How much can my Peugeot tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Peugeot'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 Peugeot 504 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Peugeot 504 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
