Questions About 1992 Plymouth Acclaim’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Plymouth'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.
  • What can I tow in a Plymouth? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Acclaim’s towing capacity. 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? Caring for your Plymouth Acclaim’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 Plymouth. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Plymouth Acclaim? Yes. Plymouth Acclaim transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
