Can You Still Drive with a Damaged Transmission Valve Body?
1 Answers
You should not continue driving the car after the transmission valve body is damaged. Here are more related details: Cause Analysis: 1. A damaged transmission valve body may experience jamming. If leakage occurs, it can cause gear shift shocks during the transmission's shifting process, significantly reducing shifting efficiency and also leading to a decrease in the car's power. 2. The transmission valve body is a hydraulic control unit. During operation, the spools on the valve body move left and right to change the direction and pressure of the hydraulic oil, enabling the transmission to shift automatically. If the valve body is damaged, jamming or leakage can cause gear shift shocks. It's worth noting that the spools on the valve body are controlled by the electronic control unit via solenoid valves. 3. Damage to the transmission valve body is more common in automatic transmissions. Automatic transmissions, as opposed to manual transmissions, allow the car to shift gears automatically based on driving speed and engine RPM. Currently, the most common types of automatic transmissions used in cars are hydraulic automatic transmissions (AT), continuously variable transmissions (CVT), automated manual transmissions (AMT), and dual-clutch transmissions.
