What Are the Benefits of Changing Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid replacement offers several benefits: 1. Smoother and more seamless gear shifting; 2. Cleans and lubricates the gear system, prolonging the lifespan of transmission components and ensuring proper operation; 3. Can reduce fuel consumption to some extent. Symptoms indicating the need for transmission fluid change include: 1. Decreased power output - vehicle responds sluggishly during acceleration with noticeable engine RPM noise but poor speed gain; 2. Overheating transmission due to fluid breakdown, damaging bearings and gears; 3. Difficulty starting - at low gears, pressing the accelerator raises RPM but yields minimal travel distance; 4. Gear engagement feels jerky with unsmooth shifting and abnormal transmission noises.
