Why is Your 1988 Corsica’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1988 Chevrolet Corsica transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

1988 Chevrolet Corsica Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? 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.
  • 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 Corsica’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Corsica is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Corsica's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Corsica’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Chevrolet, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Corsica? Yes. Chevrolet Corsica transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Chevrolet Corsica transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Corsica transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet Corsica if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
