What Does Your Subaru DL Transmission Do?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1985 Subaru DL transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Subaru DL transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your DL at all.

Questions About 1985 Subaru DL’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Subaru? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Subaru DL? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your DL’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my DL transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1985 DL’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 Subaru. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Subaru DL? Yes. Subaru DL transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Subaru DL transmission fixed? When your DL transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Should I avoid driving my Subaru DL if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your DL if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
