Why is Your 2006 STS’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your STS’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2006 Cadillac STS transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Cadillac STS transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your STS’s not even driveable.

2006 Cadillac STS 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.
  • How much can I tow in a Cadillac STS? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your STS towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my STS's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Cadillac STS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Cadillac STS? Yes. Cadillac STS transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
