Why is Your 1989 Acclaim’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. 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 Acclaim’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Plymouth Acclaim transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Plymouth Acclaim transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Acclaim isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1989 Plymouth Acclaim’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Plymouth's brakes? 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 my Plymouth tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Acclaim is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Acclaim's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 Acclaim’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 Plymouth's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Plymouth Acclaim leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Plymouth Acclaim, 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 Plymouth Acclaim transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Acclaim transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Plymouth Acclaim if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Acclaim 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.
