2005 GMC Savana 3500 Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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. 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.
  • Does my Savana 3500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Savana 3500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • 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.
