1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? 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 my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Monte Carlo towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Monte Carlo's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 Monte Carlo’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Chevrolet Monte Carlo leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Chevrolet Monte Carlo can develop a transmission fluid leak.
