Questions About 2009 GMC Savana 3500’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
