What Causes Excessive Transmission Fluid Temperature?
1 Answers
The reasons for excessive transmission fluid temperature are as follows: 1. High engine and coolant temperature: Affects transmission cooling, requires engine repair. 2. Clogged radiator grille: Can be cleaned. 3. Transmission clutch slipping: Generates additional heat, requires coupling repair. 4. Insufficient flow in transmission cooling oil circuit: Requires valve body repair or oil pump replacement. 5. Thermostat sticking: Requires thermostat replacement. Below is additional information about transmissions: 1. Automotive transmission (Transmission): Commonly referred to as "gearbox" in vehicles; often called "speed variator" in industrial machinery, it's a mechanical or hydraulic device for mechanical power conversion. 2. Transmission damage: 90% of transmission failures are caused by high temperature. Transmission overheating shows no obvious symptoms during use, but prolonged high temperature will cause internal seals to age and plastic components to become brittle.
