2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sierra 1500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sierra 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Sierra 1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC Sierra 1500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC Sierra 1500? Yes. GMC Sierra 1500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
