What are the impacts of a disassembled transmission on a car?
2 Answers
There will be no impact. Below are specific explanations about the transmission: 1. Function: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of movement. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of movement transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission generally consists of a housing and several gear pairs. 2. Classification: Automatic transmissions have become mainstream internationally, mainly including AT, AMT, CVT, and DCT types. Early AT transmission systems were primarily 4AT, but they have evolved towards multi-directional development, such as 6AT and 8AT. AT transmissions feature smooth shifting, good comfort, and strong power transmission capability, but they have poor fuel economy and high manufacturing costs. AMT is based on traditional manual transmissions, only changing the manual operation part, and achieves automatic shifting through an electronically controlled automatic operating system. AMT has a simple structure, low cost, and good fuel economy, but it offers poor comfort and poses challenges in automation control.
My previous car had its transmission disassembled, mainly to fix an oil leakage issue. I found this job quite crucial: if done by a professional shop—replacing the sealing gasket and tightening the bolts properly—the car actually ran smoother afterward, becoming more fuel-efficient and quieter. But if the technician lacked skill, like failing to replace an aged sealing gasket, it could easily lead to oil seepage, slipping, and even cause the transmission to make clunking noises, accelerating wear and tear. In the long run, it affects engine coordination, potentially weakening power output. Also, improper tools during disassembly might scratch components, resulting in stiff gear shifting later. I think the key lies in why it was disassembled—whether for maintenance or major repair. If handled correctly, it could extend the lifespan; but never cheap out on roadside stalls, or you’ll end up with a pile of issues, like frequent trips to the repair shop. In short, it’s a mixed bag—choosing the right technician is critical to avoid dragging your beloved car down.
