Questions About 2017 GMC Canyon’s Transmission

  • 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.
  • How much can I tow in a GMC Canyon? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Canyon towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. 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.
  • Does my Canyon's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC Canyon transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your GMC, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC Canyon? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your GMC Canyon, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
