Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Questions & Answers

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