1985 Chevrolet G10 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your G10 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your G10 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my G10's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1985 G10’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet G10? Yes, your Chevrolet G10 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your G10 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Chevrolet G10 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for G10 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Chevrolet G10 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your G10 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
