What’s the Importance of Your 1988 505’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 505’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Peugeot 505 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Peugeot 505 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your 505 isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1988 Peugeot 505’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Peugeot's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Peugeot? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 505 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 505's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 505’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 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 transmission fluid leak from my Peugeot 505? Yes. Peugeot 505 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  Peugeot 505 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 505 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Peugeot 505 with a transmission fluid leak? Driving your 505 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.
