What Causes Excessive Transmission Temperature?
1 Answers
There are many reasons for excessive transmission temperature. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific causes of high transmission temperature: 1. Engine and coolant temperature too high: Prolonged or overloaded operation of the engine can raise the coolant temperature, thereby affecting transmission cooling; additionally, insufficient coolant in the radiator reduces the cooling system's effectiveness, leading to transmission overheating. 2. Transmission clutch slipping: Clutch slippage generates additional heat, increasing transmission temperature and degrading transmission oil quality, which accelerates transmission wear. 3. Thermostat stuck: If the transmission thermostat gets stuck, transmission oil cannot enter the cooling system, preventing the heat generated by the transmission from being dissipated. 4. Insufficient transmission fluid: Low transmission fluid levels increase gear shift roughness and reduce cooling efficiency, causing transmission temperature to rise and potentially damaging internal components. 5. Clogged radiator grille: A blocked grille prevents timely dissipation of transmission heat, leading to increased transmission temperature.
