What are the symptoms of water contamination in transmission fluid?
1 Answers
Symptoms of water contamination in transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Mild contamination: Partial rusting of screws inside the transmission. 2. Moderate contamination: White sediment appears in the oil pan. When oil mixes with water, it produces a white emulsion that adheres to the oil pan. The presence of such sediment indicates moderate water contamination in the transmission. 3. Severe contamination: Can be determined by the color and viscosity of the transmission fluid. Water entering an automatic transmission will corrode the steel screws inside, requiring prompt transmission inspection and repair. Severe cases may lead to significant transmission damage.
