Questions About 1989 Plymouth Colt’s Transmission

  • How much can my Plymouth tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Colt’s towing capacity. 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Plymouth Colt? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Plymouth Colt, potentially causing transmission problems.
