What Does Your GMC Caballero Transmission Do?

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 Caballero’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. GMC Caballero transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to GMC Caballero transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Caballero at all.

1987 GMC Caballero Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
