Why is Your 1998 Neon’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1998 Plymouth Neon transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Plymouth Neon transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Neon isn’t working at all.

1998 Plymouth Neon Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Plymouth's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Neon’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Neon is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Neon's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 Neon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Plymouth Neon leak transmission fluid? Yes. Plymouth Neon transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Where can I get my  Plymouth Neon transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Neon transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Plymouth Neon if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Neon to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
