How to Deal with High Transmission Fuse Temperature?
1 Answers
When the transmission temperature is too high, the first step is to pull the car over to the side and allow the transmission temperature to gradually decrease. Then, check whether the radiator fan of the transmission is functioning properly and inspect if the coolant and transmission fluid are at adequate levels. After these checks, once the transmission temperature returns to normal and the dashboard warning light turns off, you can continue driving. The reasons for transmission overheating are as follows: Engine and coolant temperature too high: Prolonged engine overload can raise the coolant temperature, thereby affecting the transmission's heat dissipation. Additionally, insufficient coolant in the radiator reduces the cooling system's efficiency, leading to transmission overheating. Transmission clutch slipping: Clutch slippage generates additional heat, increasing the transmission temperature and degrading the quality of the transmission fluid, which in turn accelerates transmission wear. Thermostat stuck: If the transmission's thermostat is stuck, the oil inside the transmission cannot enter the cooling system, preventing the heat generated by the transmission from being dissipated. Insufficient transmission fluid: Low transmission fluid levels can increase gearshift jerkiness and reduce cooling efficiency, causing the transmission temperature to rise and potentially damaging internal components. Clogged radiator grille: A blocked grille prevents the timely dissipation of heat generated by the transmission, leading to increased transmission temperature.
