Questions About 2001 Chevrolet Lumina’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 a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Lumina’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Lumina is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Lumina's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2001 Lumina’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 Lumina? Yes, your Chevrolet Lumina can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Lumina ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Chevrolet Lumina transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Lumina transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Chevrolet Lumina if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Lumina if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
