What’s the Importance of Your 2005 CTS’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Cadillac CTS transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Cadillac CTS transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your CTS at all.

Questions About 2005 Cadillac CTS’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Cadillac's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CTS’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CTS is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my CTS's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Cadillac CTS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Cadillac'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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Cadillac CTS? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac CTS, potentially causing transmission problems.
