What Does Your Chevrolet Monte Carlo Transmission Do?

Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Monte Carlo towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. 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? Maintaining your Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Monte Carlo? Yes. Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Chevrolet Monte Carlo transmission leak? When your Monte Carlo transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is it okay to drive a Monte Carlo 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 Monte Carlo to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
