What Does Your Chevrolet Trailblazer Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Trailblazer’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Chevrolet Trailblazer transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Chevrolet Trailblazer transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Trailblazer isn’t working at all.

2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? 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 my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Trailblazer towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Trailblazer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 Trailblazer’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. 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 Trailblazer? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Trailblazer, 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.
  • Where can I get my  Chevrolet Trailblazer transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Trailblazer transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Trailblazer with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Trailblazer 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.
