What are the symptoms of insufficient transmission fluid in a car?
1 Answers
The symptoms of insufficient transmission fluid in a car include: 1. The most noticeable is a jerky feeling when shifting gears, with unsmooth gear changes; 2. When pressing the accelerator, the increase in engine RPM does not correspond proportionally to the increase in vehicle speed; 3. The transmission will overheat. If the transmission fluid is not replaced for a long time, it will become increasingly viscous, affecting heat dissipation and leading to excessively high temperatures, which over time can impact the transmission's lifespan. Transmission fluid deteriorates and evaporates under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, so it needs to be replaced regularly. Failure to replace it can accelerate wear and tear on mechanical components. Transmission fluid helps keep the gear system clean, lubricates the transmission components, and extends their service life.
