What are the symptoms of a broken automatic transmission in a car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission failure symptoms include slow response, inability to upshift, and engine stalling when shifting gears. Here are detailed explanations of these phenomena: Slow response: When the transmission cannot quickly shift to the correct gear, shifting feels rough, or there's difficulty engaging gears (or failure to engage), this indicates transmission problems; Inability to upshift: While driving, the transmission remains stuck in 1st gear and cannot shift to 2nd or higher gears. Alternatively, it may shift to 2nd gear but fails to engage 3rd or overdrive gears; Engine stalling when shifting: After starting the car, when shifting the gear lever from P or N to other positions (like P or R), the engine stalls. Similarly, the engine may stall when braking to a stop while driving.
