What happens if I "ride" my 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Chevrolet?

Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

When should I have my Cavalier's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 Cavalier’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
