Questions About 1997 Saturn SW1’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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Saturn tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my SW1's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Saturn SW1 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 Saturn SW1 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Saturn SW1 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
