1987 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Colt 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.
  • When should I have my Colt's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Plymouth Colt’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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 transmission fluid leak from my Plymouth Colt? Yes. Plymouth Colt transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
