Questions About 1990 Plymouth Colt’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Plymouth's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Plymouth? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's 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. 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? Maintaining your Plymouth Colt transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Plymouth, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Plymouth Colt transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Plymouth Colt, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
