Can Water Enter the Transmission?
1 Answers
Can water enter the transmission? Here are the details: 1. Clean water entry: Try not to drive or run the engine. In this case, the water will settle at the bottom of the gear oil in the transmission. Open the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain all the water and oil, then add new gear oil. 2. Dirty water or water with sediment entry: If clean water enters and the vehicle is driven or the engine is run, the water and oil will emulsify due to high-speed mixing inside the transmission, making it difficult to separate the oil and water. In this case, the transmission must be removed and opened for cleaning. If sediment enters the bearings, especially the input shaft bearing, all components inside the transmission must be disassembled and cleaned.
