What Does Your Toyota Celica Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1986 Toyota Celica transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Toyota Celica transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Celica isn’t working at all.

1986 Toyota Celica Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Toyota's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Toyota Celica? Think twice before volunteering to tow a 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. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Celica is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Celica's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Toyota Celica transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Toyota. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Celica? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Celica, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Toyota Celica transmission repair? When your Celica transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Celica with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Celica to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
