Questions About 2001 Pontiac Firebird’s Transmission

  • How much can my Pontiac tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Firebird towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • When should I have my Firebird's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Pontiac Firebird’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 Pontiac's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Pontiac Firebird? Yes. Pontiac Firebird transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
