Why is Your 1986 Pickup’s Transmission So Important?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1986 Toyota Pickup transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Pickup transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Pickup’s not even driveable.

1986 Toyota Pickup 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Toyota Pickup? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Pickup towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Pickup's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1986 Pickup’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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Toyota Pickup? Yes, your Toyota Pickup can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Pickup ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
