1998 GMC Savana 3500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your GMC's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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. Defying your Savana 3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Savana 3500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Savana 3500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your GMC Savana 3500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.
