Questions About 1986 Chevrolet Chevette’s Transmission

  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Chevette towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Chevette transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Chevrolet Chevette’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
