What Are the Causes of Automatic Transmission Overheating?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission overheating is caused by excessive automatic transmission fluid temperature, internal mechanical jamming of the automatic transmission, or excessively high temperatures of surrounding connected components, such as a clogged and overheated exhaust pipe catalytic converter. Below are some solutions for overheating: 1. Stop driving: If the transmission triggers a high-temperature warning, immediately stop driving and let the vehicle idle for 10 minutes. 2. Enhance cooling: If the vehicle's cooling capacity is insufficient, consider appropriate modifications such as installing a larger radiator, adding cooling fans, or switching to higher-grade transmission fluid. 3. Regular inspection: Periodically clean the transmission radiator, especially after driving on muddy roads, to ensure its cooling efficiency remains optimal.
