Should a Broken Transmission Be Repaired or Replaced?
1 Answers
If the damage is not severe, it is recommended to repair it. Generally, the reason for replacing a transmission is either because it is beyond repair or the repair cost is too high. Whether a car's broken transmission should be repaired or replaced mainly depends on the extent of the damage and the cost of repair. Functions of a transmission: Changing the transmission ratio: To meet the traction needs under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate under optimal conditions and meet possible speed requirements. Enabling reverse driving: To meet the need for the car to move backward. The engine crankshaft generally only rotates in one direction, but the car sometimes needs to move backward, hence the reverse gear in the transmission is often used to achieve this. Interrupting power transmission: To stop power transmission to the drive wheels during engine startup, idle operation, gear shifting, or when parking is required for power output.
