1996 Chevrolet Express 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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 volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Express 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Express 1500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet Express 1500’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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet Express 1500? Yes. Chevrolet Express 1500 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 does Chevrolet Express 1500 transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Express 1500 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet Express 1500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Express 1500 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
