What are the symptoms of a broken gearbox?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a broken gearbox include delayed response, the automatic transmission failing to upshift, a burning smell, the engine stalling when shifting gears, difficulty in shifting gears, transmission oil leakage, and automatic shifting times that are either too long or too short. The gearbox, also known as the transmission, will produce noticeable clunking sounds and significant vibrations if it is damaged. There are two types of transmissions: manual and automatic. A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. An automatic transmission is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.
