2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Suburban 1500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Suburban 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Suburban 1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Suburban 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Chevrolet Suburban 1500 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
