Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Chevrolet K3500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Chevrolet K3500 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your K3500 at all.

1991 Chevrolet K3500 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your K3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your K3500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my K3500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1991 K3500’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet K3500? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet K3500, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who fixes Chevrolet K3500 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair K3500 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a K3500 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your K3500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
