Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1984 Plymouth Reliant 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.

1984 Plymouth Reliant Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Plymouth? 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 I tow in a Plymouth Reliant? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Reliant 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.
  • Does my Reliant's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1984 Reliant’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Plymouth Reliant transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Plymouth Reliant can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Reliant ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
