1993 Saturn SC1 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Saturn? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Saturn? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your SC1 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SC1 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my SC1's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 SC1’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 Saturn. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Saturn SC1 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Saturn SC1 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SC1 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
