The 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 utilizes Dexron VI transmission fluid, a crucial component of the vehicle's transmission system. Over time, you may encounter troubles such as gears getting stuck, jerky movements, harsh shifts, shuddering, slipping, and delayed gear changes that can result in acceleration problems. It's important to promptly address any transmission fluid leaks and adhere to the recommended fluid replacement interval of every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Neglecting to maintain the transmission system may lead to concerning noises and issues such as unpleasant sounds due to old fluid and headaches caused by a malfunctioning torque converter.
