2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Silverado 1500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Silverado 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Silverado 1500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. 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 Silverado 1500? Yes, your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Silverado 1500 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who can fix my  Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Silverado 1500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Silverado 1500 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
