What are the causes of transmission system failure?
2 Answers
Transmission system failures are caused by malfunctions in components such as the clutch, gearbox, universal drive, main reducer, differential, and axle shafts, requiring inspection and repair at a 4S shop. More information about the transmission system is as follows: 1. Composition: The transmission system generally consists of the clutch, gearbox, universal drive, main reducer, differential, and axle shafts. Its basic function is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the car, generating driving force to enable the car to travel at a certain speed. 2. Types: The composition and layout of the transmission system vary with the type of engine, installation position, and the intended use of the vehicle. For example, off-road vehicles often use four-wheel drive, adding components like a transfer case to the transmission system; while for front-engine, front-wheel-drive vehicles, the transmission system does not include components like a drive shaft.
I've encountered transmission system failures quite a few times. Mechanical component issues are most common, such as gear wear or slippage in the transmission, or aging clutch plates which can cause rough power delivery. If the driveshaft has cracks or bends, you'll hear unusual noises while driving. Automatic transmissions often experience control module failures, like malfunctioning ECU boards that prevent proper gear shifting. Maintenance-wise, fluids are crucial – insufficient or contaminated transmission fluid can clog lines and reduce lubrication, accelerating wear. External factors like water ingress or collision damage can also harm components. Symptoms include sluggish gear engagement or power loss. Regular fluid checks and mechanical connection inspections are recommended, with professional repairs when needed. Avoiding sudden acceleration or excessive load in daily driving can extend service life.
