1989 GMC Jimmy 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a GMC Jimmy? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Jimmy’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Jimmy's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 Jimmy’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my GMC Jimmy? Yes, your GMC Jimmy can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Jimmy ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
