Such problems aren’t hard to spot. GMC Savana 3500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

2003 GMC Savana 3500 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 Savana 3500? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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.
  • Does my Savana 3500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC Savana 3500 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my GMC Savana 3500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. GMC Savana 3500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  GMC Savana 3500 transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Savana 3500 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Savana 3500 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Savana 3500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
