2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Cadillac? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Cadillac? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. 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.
  • How often does my Escalade EXT transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 Escalade EXT’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Cadillac Escalade EXT transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Cadillac Escalade EXT can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Escalade EXT ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
