What Does Your GMC Acadia Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2008 GMC Acadia transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let GMC Acadia transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Acadia at all.

2008 GMC Acadia Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your GMC's brakes? 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 my GMC tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Acadia’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Acadia transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 Acadia’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 GMC. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC Acadia? Yes, your GMC Acadia can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Acadia 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.
  • Where can I get my  GMC Acadia transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Acadia transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Acadia with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Acadia if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
