What happens if I "ride" my Saturn'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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Saturn?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LS2’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LS2 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

When should I have my LS2's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Caring for your Saturn LS2’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 Saturn'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 Saturn LS2 leak transmission fluid?

Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Saturn LS2, 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.
