It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2008 Chevrolet Equinox transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Chevrolet Equinox transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Equinox at all.

Questions About 2008 Chevrolet Equinox’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? 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.
  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Equinox towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Equinox is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Equinox's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Equinox’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chevrolet. 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 Equinox? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Equinox, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
