Questions About 1986 Chevrolet G10’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your G10’s towing capacity. 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? Maintaining your Chevrolet G10 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet G10? Yes. Chevrolet G10 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
