Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Oldsmobile Aurora transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Aurora at all.

1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Oldsmobile'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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Oldsmobile Aurora? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Aurora’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Aurora is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Aurora transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 Aurora’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Oldsmobile. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Oldsmobile Aurora transmission fluid leak? Yes. Oldsmobile Aurora 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.

  • Can I drive my Oldsmobile Aurora with a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Aurora with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
