What’s the Importance of Your 2011 DTS’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. 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. They're often easy to notice. Cadillac DTS transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Cadillac DTS transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your DTS’s not even driveable.

2011 Cadillac DTS Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? 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 my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your DTS’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your DTS is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my DTS's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Cadillac DTS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Cadillac, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Cadillac DTS transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Cadillac DTS can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your DTS ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

You might even experience transmission failure.
