2004 GMC Canyon Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a GMC Canyon? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Canyon’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Canyon is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Canyon's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your GMC Canyon transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my GMC Canyon? Yes, your GMC Canyon can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Canyon 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a Canyon with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
