Why is Your 1986 Monte Carlo’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Monte Carlo’s not even driveable.

Questions About 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Monte Carlo is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Monte Carlo transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Chevrolet Monte Carlo’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Monte Carlo? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 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 does Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Monte Carlo transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Chevrolet Monte Carlo if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Monte Carlo 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.
