What Does Your Buick Park Avenue Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1996 Buick Park Avenue transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Buick Park Avenue transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Park Avenue isn’t working at all.

1996 Buick Park Avenue Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Buick? 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Park Avenue towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Park Avenue transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1996 Park Avenue’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 Buick's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Buick Park Avenue? Yes, your Buick Park Avenue can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Park Avenue 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.
