Questions About 1986 Chevrolet G20’s Transmission

Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet G20? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet G20, potentially causing transmission problems.
