1984 Plymouth Colt Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Plymouth's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Plymouth Colt? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Colt towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Colt's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Plymouth Colt transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 transmission fluid leak from my Plymouth Colt? Yes. Plymouth Colt 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.
  • Where can I get my  Plymouth Colt transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Colt transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Colt with 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 Colt to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
