Chevrolet Chevette Parts

The Chevrolet Chevette entered the market in 1976 to satisfy customers seeking fuel-efficient vehicles thus becoming Chevrolet's first entry into the compact car category. When it launched in 1976 the Chevrolet Chevette brought to market a 1.4-liter OHV engine and a 1.6-liter OHC four-cylinder inline engine that produced 53 to 60 horsepower in total. An addition occurred in 1981 with a diesel powertrain featuring a 1.8-liter engine that achieved 51 horsepower. The EPA confirmed that this automobile consumed 28 miles per gallon of fuel in urban areas and 40 miles per gallon when traveling on highways. You could choose between the original 4-speed Saginaw manual transmission and later 5-speed Borg-Warner T-5 manual as well as the 3-speed automatic transmission for the Chevrolet Chevette. Drivers of the diesel Chevette could choose between a manual transmission with 5 speeds or an automatic transmission with 3 speeds from GM Turbo-Hydramatic TH200C. The Chevrolet Chevette displayed compact dimensions through two wheelbase lengths of 95.3 inches for the two-door and 97.3 inches for the four-door models which added to its well-behaved driving characteristics. The base price of $3,914 during 1979 for the Chevette created a market demand for economy-priced Chevrolet Chevette parts that were developed through testing by original assembly facilities or authorized OEMs thus delivering reliability for genuine auto components to vehicle owners.
