1987 Chevrolet R10 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet R10? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your R10’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your R10 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my R10's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet R10’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet R10? Yes. Chevrolet R10 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 fixes Chevrolet R10 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair R10 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a R10 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your R10 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.
