1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Tahoe towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Tahoe is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Tahoe's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chevrolet Tahoe transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Tahoe? Yes, your Chevrolet Tahoe can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Tahoe 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.

  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet Tahoe if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Tahoe to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
