2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? 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 Silverado 1500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Silverado 1500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Yes. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
