What Does Your Pontiac T1000 Transmission Do?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1983 Pontiac T1000 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Pontiac T1000 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your T1000 isn’t working at all.

1983 Pontiac T1000 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Pontiac's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Pontiac T1000? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your T1000 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your T1000 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my T1000 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 T1000’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 T1000? Yes, your Pontiac T1000 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your T1000 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Pontiac T1000 transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair T1000 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Pontiac T1000 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
