Why is Your 2006 Yukon’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2006 GMC Yukon transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to GMC Yukon transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Yukon at all.

2006 GMC Yukon Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? 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 volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Yukon's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your GMC Yukon’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC Yukon? Yes, your GMC Yukon can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Yukon ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who fixes GMC Yukon transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Yukon transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my GMC Yukon if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
