Questions About 1988 Chevrolet Nova’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Nova towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Nova is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Nova's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 Nova’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Nova? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Nova, 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.
