1986 Cadillac Cimarron Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Cimarron’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Cimarron's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Cadillac Cimarron transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Cadillac. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Cadillac Cimarron leak transmission fluid? Yes. Cadillac Cimarron 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.

You might even experience transmission failure.
