1999 GMC Sierra 2500 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Sierra 2500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sierra 2500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Sierra 2500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC Sierra 2500 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 2500? Yes. GMC Sierra 2500 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my GMC Sierra 2500 if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
