Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1997 Toyota Celica transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1997 Toyota Celica’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Toyota's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Toyota tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Celica towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. 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.
  • When should I have my Celica's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 Celica’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a Celica with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Celica 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.
