1999 Saturn SW2 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Saturn's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Saturn SW2? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your SW2’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my SW2's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Saturn SW2’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Saturn's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Saturn SW2 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Saturn SW2 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SW2 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
