1988 Chevrolet Camaro Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 it is. Defying your Camaro towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Camaro's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet Camaro? Yes. Chevrolet Camaro transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
