1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Pontiac's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Pontiac? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your J2000 Sunbird’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my J2000 Sunbird transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
