Should the Transmission Fluid of a Flood-Damaged Car Be Replaced?
1 Answers
No, it is not necessary because the interior of the transmission will not be affected by water, regardless of whether the car has been flooded. Here is some information about automotive transmissions: 1. Function of the Transmission: The transmission alters the gear ratio between the engine and the wheels, allowing the engine to operate under optimal conditions. It enhances the torque and speed transmitted to the drive wheels, enabling different speeds and allowing the car to reverse or idle. 2. Definition of the Transmission: The transmission is a gearbox that changes the gear ratio and direction of motion. Located between the clutch and the central drive, its primary functions are to alter the vehicle's driving force and speed (shifting gears), enable reverse movement (reversing), and allow the engine to idle without stalling (neutral gear).
