What Does Your Plymouth Caravelle Transmission Do?

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 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. 1987 Plymouth Caravelle transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Plymouth Caravelle transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Caravelle isn’t working at all.

1987 Plymouth Caravelle Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Plymouth's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Plymouth Caravelle? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Caravelle 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.
  • How often does my Caravelle transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Plymouth Caravelle’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Plymouth Caravelle transmission fluid leak? Yes. Plymouth Caravelle 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 does Plymouth Caravelle transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Caravelle transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Plymouth Caravelle if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Caravelle to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
