What happens when you "ride" your Renault'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.

What can I tow in a Renault?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Fuego is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

How often does my Fuego transmission fluid need to be checked?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1985 Fuego’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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 Renault. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Can transmission fluid leak from my Renault Fuego?

Yes. Renault Fuego transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
