1996 Chevrolet Express 2500 Transmission Q&A

  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Express 2500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Express 2500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Express 2500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Chevrolet Express 2500 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Chevrolet Express 2500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
