Questions About 1993 Saturn SL’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Saturn SL? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your SL’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SL is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SL's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Saturn SL’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Saturn SL? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Saturn SL, 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.
  • Who can fix my  Saturn SL transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for SL transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Saturn SL if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your SL to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
