1989 Chevrolet S10 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your S10 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S10 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my S10 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 S10’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Chevrolet S10 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet S10 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.
