1998 Chevrolet Express 3500 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Express 3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Express 3500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Express 3500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chevrolet Express 3500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 my Chevrolet Express 3500 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Express 3500, potentially causing transmission problems.
