Here are common transmission failures: 1. Oil leakage: Oil seeps from the transmission housing or oil pan, which may be caused by aging seals leading to poor sealing, or manufacturing defects resulting in sand holes in the housing. 2. Engine stalling when shifting into gear: Stalling when shifting into D or R may be caused by a damaged lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or issues with components or circuits, sometimes due to communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers. 4. No response when shifting into gear: The vehicle does not move after shifting into D or R and releasing the brake. This is often caused by damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Gear shift shock or jerking during driving is also a common symptom of automatic transmission failure, possibly due to dirty transmission fluid causing valve body sticking. 6. Transmission slipping during driving, lack of acceleration, engine revving without speed increase, and overall vehicle weakness are mostly caused by burnt clutch plates. 7. Water in transmission: External factors causing water to enter the transmission, leading to abnormal operation, possibly due to oil mixing with coolant or water entering through the transmission vent cap. 8. Abnormal noise: Unusual sounds from the transmission area during driving are often caused by worn parts or improper transmission installation.

What Causes a Strong Gasoline Smell During Cold Start?

The reasons for a strong gasoline smell during cold start are: 1. The water temperature and exhaust pipe temperature are low, leading to incomplete combustion in the engine; 2. The fuel injector has carbon buildup or leakage issues, resulting in poor gasoline atomization; 3. The carbon canister or its solenoid valve is faulty; 4. Severe carbon buildup in the throttle valve or air flow meter, causing reduced power; 5. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine cylinders. Precautions for cold start include: 1. Avoid prolonged idling to warm up the engine, as components are not fully lubricated and the engine has not reached optimal operating temperature; 2. The fuel injector automatically increases fuel injection to raise RPM, and normal driving can commence once the engine reaches optimal operating temperature.
