Questions About 1993 Pontiac Sunbird’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 Sunbird towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 Sunbird’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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.
