Why is Your 2002 LeSabre’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Buick LeSabre transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Buick LeSabre transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your LeSabre isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2002 Buick LeSabre’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Buick'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 Buick tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LeSabre’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LeSabre is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my LeSabre's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 LeSabre’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 Buick, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Buick LeSabre leak transmission fluid? Yes. Buick LeSabre 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.
  • Who can fix my  Buick LeSabre transmission leak? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair LeSabre transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
