2021 GMC Savana 2500 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a GMC? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Savana 2500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Savana 2500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Savana 2500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 Savana 2500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your GMC's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC Savana 2500? Yes, your GMC Savana 2500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
