2001 Cadillac Eldorado Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac Eldorado? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Eldorado towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Eldorado is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Eldorado transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Cadillac Eldorado’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
