Questions About 2004 Pontiac Sunfire’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Pontiac? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load.

  • 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Pontiac Sunfire leak transmission fluid? Yes. Pontiac Sunfire transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
