Is the Acceleration Noise in Chery A3 from the Transmission or Elsewhere?
1 Answers
Chery A3 acceleration noise is from the transmission. Failure to repair the transmission in time after water ingress or prolonged neglect in changing the automatic transmission fluid can lead to transmission noise. Transmission noises generally include torque converter noise, oil pump noise, planetary gear noise, and differential noise. It is essential to inspect and repair promptly when such noises occur. Common causes of transmission noise: 1. Failure to repair the transmission in time after water ingress can trigger a series of automatic transmission failures, such as oil leaks, noise, and impact issues. 2. Prolonged neglect in changing the automatic transmission fluid causes the fluid to thicken. Over time, it loses its effectiveness, resulting in direct friction between components without a protective layer, which exacerbates mechanical wear. In severe cases, it can damage automatic transmission components like the planetary gear carrier and differential, leading to noise. 3. The use of inferior transmission fluid, which is of low quality or counterfeit, has poor temperature resistance and is prone to oxidation, forming sludge and residue that clogs the automatic transmission filter and lubrication channels. This increases friction among internal components, causing noise issues.
