What’s the Importance of Your 2015 Sonic’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Sonic’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Chevrolet Sonic transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Chevrolet Sonic transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Sonic at all.

Questions About 2015 Chevrolet Sonic’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Sonic? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sonic is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Sonic's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chevrolet Sonic 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Chevrolet Sonic transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Sonic, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Chevrolet Sonic transmission repair? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair Sonic transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Is it okay to drive a Sonic with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Sonic if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
