Questions About 1999 Pontiac Sunfire’s Transmission

  • How much can my Pontiac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Sunfire's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Pontiac Sunfire’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Pontiac, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Pontiac Sunfire? Yes, your Pontiac Sunfire can develop a transmission fluid leak.
