Questions About 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix’s Transmission

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Pontiac, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Pontiac Grand Prix? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Pontiac Grand Prix, potentially causing transmission problems.
