1986 Plymouth Colt Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Plymouth? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Colt’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Colt is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Colt's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Plymouth Colt’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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Plymouth Colt? Yes, your Plymouth Colt can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Colt ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
