1997 Saturn SW2 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Saturn? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Saturn? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SW2 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SW2's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Saturn SW2’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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 SW2 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Saturn SW2 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing.
