What’s the Importance of Your 1991 SL1’s Transmission?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1991 Saturn SL1 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Saturn SL1 transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your SL1 at all.

1991 Saturn SL1 Questions & Answers

  • 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 my Saturn tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SL1 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my SL1 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Saturn SL1’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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Saturn SL1? Yes, your Saturn SL1 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SL1 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
