2003 Saturn L200 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Saturn's brakes? 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 Saturn L200? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your L200’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your L200 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my L200 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Saturn L200’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Saturn, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Saturn L200 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Saturn L200 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. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
