2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Yukon XL 1500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Yukon XL 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Yukon XL 1500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your GMC Yukon XL 1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your GMC. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC Yukon XL 1500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. GMC Yukon XL 1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing.
