What are the symptoms of a broken gear in a manual transmission?
2 Answers
Manual transmission failure manifests as difficulty in shifting gears and unusual noises. Below is a related introduction: 1. Introduction to the transmission: The transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; while the automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. 2. Function of the transmission: To change the transmission ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under conditions of higher power and lower fuel consumption.
As a driver who has been driving manual transmissions for many years, I have encountered situations where the gears were damaged. The main symptoms include shifting becoming extremely difficult, as if forcing something in, often failing to engage or getting stuck in a certain position. Additionally, while driving, you can hear grinding noises, especially during starting and acceleration. The car body may also vibrate or shake for no reason, making the drive very uncomfortable. Sometimes, after engaging a gear, it pops out by itself, which is very dangerous, especially on highways where it can easily lead to loss of control. Gear damage is mostly caused by wear and tear or overly aggressive driving, such as frequently shifting at high speeds. It is recommended to pay attention to the smoothness when shifting gears and, once problems arise, promptly visit a repair shop to check the transmission fluid and clutch. Delaying repairs could result in the entire transmission being ruined. Regular maintenance can significantly reduce such issues.
