Buick LeSabre transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

1990 Buick LeSabre Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Buick tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your LeSabre towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.
