1997 Plymouth Neon Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Plymouth's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Plymouth tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Neon transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 Neon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Plymouth Neon? Yes, your Plymouth Neon can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Neon ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
