1986 Chevrolet Camaro Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? 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 I tow in a Chevrolet Camaro? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Camaro towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Camaro is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Camaro transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Chevrolet Camaro’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 Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet Camaro? Yes. Chevrolet Camaro 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. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
