Questions About 1998 Cadillac DeVille’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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your DeVille’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your DeVille is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my DeVille transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 DeVille’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 Cadillac's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Cadillac DeVille? 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.
