Why is Your 2003 Celica’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Celica’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2003 Toyota Celica transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota Celica transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Celica isn’t working at all.

Your Celica’s transmission should be inspected routinely, according to Toyota. For example, Toyota recommends exchanging transmission and differential fluids in 2003 Toyota Celicas at certain intervals with Toyota-approved transmission fluid.

2003 Toyota Celica Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Toyota's brakes? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Toyota? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. 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.
  • When should I have my Celica's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 Celica’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 Toyota, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • 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.
