Questions About 1983 Cadillac Eldorado’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Cadillac? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Eldorado's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Cadillac Eldorado transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Cadillac. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Cadillac Eldorado transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Cadillac Eldorado can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Eldorado 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.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
