1987 Chevrolet Chevette Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Chevette’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Chevette's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1987 Chevette’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Chevrolet Chevette transmission fluid leak? Yes. Chevrolet Chevette transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
