What Causes an Automatic Transmission to Spin Freely Without Moving When Shifted?
1 Answers
The reasons why an automatic transmission spins freely without moving when shifted include: 1. Insufficient transmission fluid or low internal oil pressure; 2. Incorrect gear switch signal; 3. Issues with the shift solenoid valve wiring or the solenoid valve itself; 4. Problems with the internal actuating mechanism of the transmission. Here are the solutions: 1. Check whether the transmission has insufficient fluid, whether the main oil pressure and gear oil pressure are normal, then verify if the gear switch signal is correct, if the wiring from the transmission computer to the shift solenoid valve is intact, and if the gear solenoid valve is functioning properly. 2. If all these are normal, it indicates a problem with the internal control system of the transmission, and the transmission should be disassembled to inspect the internal actuating components.
