What Does Your Cadillac Escalade Transmission Do?

Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Escalade’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Cadillac Escalade transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Cadillac Escalade transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Escalade at all.

2002 Cadillac Escalade Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
