What are the common faults of automatic transmissions?
1 Answers
There are 4 common transmission faults: 1. Difficulty in gear shifting and jerking sensation: When starting or driving, shifting gears feels stiff and laborious, with symptoms like jerking, vibration, and hesitation. Sometimes shifting is easier when cold but difficult when hot, causing significant discomfort. 2. Gear lurching and impact sensation (valve body failure): Lack of power during acceleration, noticeable jerking and hesitation at low or medium speeds, with fluctuating RPM needle on the dashboard; during medium-high speed driving when suddenly pressing the accelerator, the vehicle slips, RPM needle surges rapidly with obvious impact sensation; noticeable impact and gear lurching when shifting from P to R or D. 3. Transmission noise and loud sounds: Abnormal sounds or even loud noises from the transmission during idling, driving, or high-load conditions, with irregular dull sounds during gear shifts. 4. Overheating transmission: Computer displays warning about excessive transmission temperature during driving; or feeling the transmission overheating after driving, even becoming too hot to touch.
