Does Transmission Oil Leak Count as a Major Overhaul?
2 Answers
Transmission oil leak counts as a major overhaul. The warning signs of transmission failure are as follows: 1. Transmission oil leak: You can clearly feel the car struggling to start, and although the engine speed increases when you press the accelerator during driving, there is no obvious sense of acceleration. The culprit may be an oil leak. Oil leakage can lead to insufficient lubrication inside the transmission, causing the transmission to malfunction. This situation is relatively simple and can be resolved by replacing the transmission oil. 2. Transmission jerking: The symptoms include noticeable jerking and shaking during gear shifting while driving. The cause may be due to excessively high transmission oil temperature, the presence of stubborn dirt and impurities inside, or blockages in the valve body, leading to transmission jerking. Please visit a 4S store or repair shop for inspection and repair.
Transmission oil leakage doesn't count as an overhaul. An overhaul typically refers to major projects involving complete disassembly and reconstruction of internal components. A leak could just be a minor issue - I've seen many car enthusiasts solve it by spending just tens of yuan to replace an oil seal. If the leak location is simple, like a deteriorated oil pan gasket, it can be fixed within an hour. But don't delay - if all the oil leaks out and internal gears lack lubrication, excessive friction could occur, then you'd really need an overhaul costing thousands of yuan and taking several days. Regular checks of fluid levels and oil stains under the chassis can prevent problems. If issues are found, immediately take it to a professional shop to save big money and gain peace of mind.
