Questions About 1985 Chevrolet K10 Suburban’s Transmission

  • 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. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your K10 Suburban towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your K10 Suburban is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my K10 Suburban's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet K10 Suburban’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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 K10 Suburban? Yes. Chevrolet K10 Suburban transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
