It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2002 GMC Yukon transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

  • 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 I tow in a GMC Yukon? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Yukon towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Yukon's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 Yukon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC Yukon leak transmission fluid? Yes. GMC Yukon transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
