Chevy Silverado 3500 Common Transmission Problems
Over time any heavy-duty truck can become susceptible to transmission issues, even the built-tough Silverado 3500. Here are some of the most common transmission problems we see:
1. Delayed Shifting
If your shifting is harsh or delayed, it could be caused by a number of problems. Does your Silverado 3500 hesitate before shifting gears or clunk after shifting? A failing valve body, clogged filter, or even a computer issue could be the blame. Often times this can be more subtle at first than worsen over time, so it is best to get it address at the earliest sign.
2. Slipping Gears
Slipping gears is probably the most frequent sign of a transmission issue. You will notice your Chevy 3500 revs up the engine but doesn’t properly accelerate or even can experience a loss of power while shifting. This could be caused by worn clutch plates, low transmission fluid, or a failing solenoid. Don’t delay in getting any of the symptoms addressed as soon as possible.
3. Transmission Fluid Leaks
A reddish-brown color fluid underneath your Silverado 3500 is a definite sign of leaking transmission fluid. Cracks in worn gaskets, pan damage, or a worn seal could be the problem. When you have a transmission fluid leak, it means that the internal parts of the transmission are not getting properly lubricated and cooled, which can lead to overheating and complete transmission failure.
4. Torque Convertor Issue
The torque convertor is a key component to your Silverado 3500 transmission, which allows your engine to idle while in gears. If it is failing, it could cause unusual noises, shuddering or jerking during acceleration, or a lack-of-power feeling.
