Car maintenance question
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 10:29 AM by Droopy
I own a 2002 Chevy S-10 that has a 5 speed manual transmission. What is the service interval for the transmission? I've looked all over the web and I cannot find it anywhere without getting charged for a manual.

1. you don't need a 'repair' manual, you need the owner's manual
the car didn't have one in the glove box when you bought it?

the maintenance schedule is listed in the back

2. I don't have the owners manual
I bought the truck used and the owner didn't leave the manual. He/she also did not leave the jack handle/lug wrench, either, which really fucked me over one time.

3. I think you can get it online
at www.mygmlink.com

You have to register, but then they'll probably keep you abreast of recalls, etc. Good luck. If that doesn't work, you can try calling customer service or a local dealer and ask if they can give you the info.

6. Now that's a damn good idea
I have a tendency to not think of the obvious sometimes. One call going in to the local Chevy dealer. I will post the answer.

7. They recommend every 30,000-50,000 miles
The truck has 58,000 on it. When I bought it used it had 34,000 on it and I doubt that the previous owner had the transmission serviced. Time to hit the quicky lube.

8. glad you found the answer
I used to do customer service for GM(I'd always recommend calling the local dealer before customer service). They charge an exorbitant amount for those manuals. GM doesn't even publish them, I forget who does. I hope you are able to find an online copy.
