The Cadillac transmission is a thing of beauty, transmitting the raw power of the engine into smooth performance on the road. If you notice things aren't running quite right, a transmission service at your local Cadillac dealership can help you get things back on track. more 1: Fluid Leaks If you notice a puddle under your car, you can be sure that's something leaking, but with several possible culprits, the cause isn't always immediately clear. Your transmission fluid may be the problem, but it could also be engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, or even just condensation from your air conditioning. One easy way to tell if it's the transmission fluid is to slip a piece of paper or card under the leak. If the resulting puddle has a red or brown tinge, it's likely your transmission fluid. 2: Slipping Out of Gear One of the biggest tell-tale signs that your transmission needs some attention is if your car starts to slip out of gear. You may also notice grinding noises, slow acceleration, or find it difficult to shift the gears up or down. These signs may be subtle at first, but left unchecked will gradually become more noticeable and start to seriously impact the performance of your Cadillac. 3: Unusual Noises If you hear a noise like an angry fly, your transmission may have a problem. Early problems with the transmission often produce a low buzzing sound that can escalate to a high-pitched whine. These sounds may be caused by a lack of transmission fluid, as this coats the moving parts to prevent friction. Take your Cadillac to your local dealership as soon as you notice any unusual noises to prevent further damage. 4: Unpleasant Odors A burning smell always warrants urgent investigation, but it could be simply due to overheating transmission fluid. As transmission fluid gets older, it starts to degrade and loses its ability to cool and resist friction. This can lead to a burning smell that is easily resolved by a transmission fluid flush. The recommended mileage for replacement depends on several factors, but typically, you should start considering new transmission fluid when you've driven 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
