What Does Your Chevrolet Tahoe Transmission Do?

Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Chevrolet Tahoe transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Chevrolet Tahoe transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Tahoe’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Tahoe? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Tahoe's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2006 Tahoe’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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.
  • Can my Chevrolet Tahoe leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet Tahoe transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Chevrolet Tahoe transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Tahoe transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Chevrolet Tahoe with a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Tahoe with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
