2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Suburban 1500? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. 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.
  • When should I have my Suburban 1500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet Suburban 1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Suburban 1500? Yes, your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
