1990 Chevrolet R3500 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet R3500? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your R3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my R3500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chevrolet R3500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 R3500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet R3500 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 R3500 transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair R3500 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet R3500 if it has 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 R3500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
