Does an AT Transmission Slip Require a Major Overhaul?
1 Answers
Transmission slipping must be repaired, and you should not continue driving. Here are the specific details: Causes of slipping: Severe wear of the clutch, brake, or one-way clutch, excessive clearance of the clutch plates leading to slipping. Adding too much transmission fluid, which generates a large amount of foam when vigorously stirred by the planetary gears, causing slipping. Using non-specified transmission fluid, as some inferior fluids can accelerate the aging, swelling, or failure of internal transmission seals, resulting in slipping. Symptoms of transmission slipping: When starting, pressing the accelerator pedal results in high engine RPM but slow vehicle acceleration. During driving, pressing the accelerator deeply leads to slow speed increase. When climbing a slope, the engine RPM is high, but the vehicle moves slowly.
