What’s the Importance of Your 2013 XTS’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your XTS’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Cadillac XTS transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Cadillac XTS transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your XTS’s not even driveable.

2013 Cadillac XTS 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Cadillac tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XTS’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my XTS's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 XTS’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 XTS transmission fluid leak? Yes. Cadillac XTS transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Cadillac XTS transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair XTS transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Cadillac XTS if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your XTS if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
