1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet S10 Blazer? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S10 Blazer’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S10 Blazer is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

Maintaining your Chevrolet S10 Blazer transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 S10 Blazer? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet S10 Blazer, potentially causing transmission problems.
