What Does Your Pontiac Montana Transmission Do?

They're often easy to notice. Pontiac Montana transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

Questions About 2004 Pontiac Montana’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Pontiac? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Montana 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 Montana's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Pontiac Montana transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Pontiac. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Pontiac Montana transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Pontiac Montana, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who fixes Pontiac Montana transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Montana transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Pontiac Montana if there is 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 Montana to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
