1983 Cadillac DeVille Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac DeVille? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your DeVille’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my DeVille transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Cadillac DeVille transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Cadillac DeVille transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac DeVille, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
