Questions About 1994 Chevrolet Astro’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Astro? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Chevrolet, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
