Questions About 1998 Chevrolet Express 1500’s Transmission

  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. 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.

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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Chevrolet Express 1500 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Express 1500, potentially causing transmission problems.
