Why is Your 1999 Silhouette’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Silhouette isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Oldsmobile? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Oldsmobile Silhouette? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Silhouette towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Silhouette is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Silhouette's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Oldsmobile Silhouette’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 Oldsmobile's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Oldsmobile Silhouette? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Oldsmobile Silhouette, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
