Questions About 1993 GMC C3500’s Transmission

  • 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 I tow in a GMC C3500? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your C3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

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