1999 Cadillac Escalade Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac Escalade? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Escalade towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Escalade's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Cadillac Escalade transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Cadillac Escalade transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Cadillac Escalade can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Escalade 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.

  • Can I still drive my Cadillac Escalade if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Escalade to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
