Questions About 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? 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.

  • Does my Silverado 1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
