What are the symptoms of automatic transmission failure?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission failure symptoms include: vehicle slipping or jerking; unusual odors from the transmission; abnormal noises during gear shifts; excessively long or short gear shift times; and transmission fluid leakage. Below are some common symptoms of automatic transmission failure: 1. Vehicle Slipping: The vehicle slips or jerks. If the car does not move when shifted into D or R gear, or responds sluggishly followed by jerking, or if the engine revs high but the vehicle moves slowly, it indicates a problem with the internal mechanical transmission components. 2. Important Notes: Automatic transmissions differ from manual transmissions with their gear-set mechanisms. They contain multiple sets of friction plates and brake bands, along with specialized hydraulic shafts. Transmission fluids vary in friction coefficients depending on their specifications. Therefore, vehicle owners should opt for original manufacturer-recommended transmission fluids to maintain optimal mechanical performance and prolong the transmission's service life.
