What’s the Importance of Your 1998 SC2’s Transmission?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1998 Saturn SC2 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Saturn SC2 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your SC2 isn’t working at all.

1998 Saturn SC2 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Saturn SC2? 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 SC2’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my SC2's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Saturn SC2 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Saturn SC2 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Saturn SC2, 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.
