They're often easy to notice. Chevrolet K1500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Chevrolet K1500 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your K1500 at all.

1992 Chevrolet K1500 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your K1500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my K1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet K1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Chevrolet K1500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet K1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
