1986 Cadillac DeVille Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac DeVille? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your DeVille towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my DeVille's transmission fluid need to be inspected? 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? Yes. Cadillac DeVille 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.
