2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Toyota? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your MR2 Spyder towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my MR2 Spyder's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 MR2 Spyder’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 Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Toyota MR2 Spyder? Yes. Toyota MR2 Spyder 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a MR2 Spyder with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
