1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE transmission oil

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord
as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the weather, the kind
of oil
you have, and some other things. Instead
of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact your Chevrolet
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle.
The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transmission
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
PARK (P): This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position
to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine It’s normal for the transmission fluid temperature to
vary, depending on the type of driving you do and
weather conditions. If you drive on long grades on a hot
day, the transmission fluid temperature will be higher
than normal driving on a cold day. If you drive your
Corvette at high speeds with a lot of stop-and-go or fast
accelerations, your transmission fluid temperature may
also be higher.
If the transmission fluid exceeds
280°F (138 “C), the
CHECK GAUGES light will come on and HI
AUTO
will be displayed next to the transmission fluid
temperature when you toggle through the GAUGES
button. You should move the shift lever to DRIVE (D)
and continue driving at a slower, constant speed.
Monitor the transmission fluid temperature and allow
it
to cool to 180°F (82°C) to 200°F (93°C). Then, you
should check the transmission fluid level for a low fill or
overfill condition and bring your Corvette in for service
as soon as possible (see “Automatic Transmission Fluid”
in the Index). Also, check the engine coolant
temperature. If it’s too hot, see “Cooling System” in the
Index.
Check Gauges Light
This red light will come on
briefly when you are
starting the engine. If the
light comes on and stays on
while
you are driving, check
your gauges to see if they
are
in the warning areas.
This light can come
on for:
0 high engine oil temperature or low oil pressure
high coolant temperature
high or low battery voltage
0 low fuel level
0 high automatic transmission oil temperature

Then install the longer knobs into the outer holes.
When to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed. Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change
your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may
choose to have this done at your Chevrolet dealer
Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the
instructions here, or you could get a false reading on the
dipstick.

I NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transmission.
Too much can mean that some of
the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine
parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure to get an accurate reading if you check your
transmission fluid.
