It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. GMC Acadia transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore GMC Acadia transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Acadia isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2021 GMC Acadia’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your GMC's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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 volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Acadia towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Acadia is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Acadia transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 Acadia’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your GMC's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • 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.
  • Who can fix my  GMC Acadia transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Acadia transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my GMC Acadia if there is 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 Acadia to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
