What causes the transmission failure in Geely Vision X3?
2 Answers
Reasons for transmission failure in Geely Vision X3: failure of the control module, malfunction of the shift solenoid valve, wear of internal gears in the transmission, failure of internal friction plates in the transmission, etc. Excessive transmission oil temperature: The transmission warning light may come on due to excessively high transmission oil temperature, such as overfilling of transmission oil, internal or external blockage of the transmission cooler. These situations mostly occur during high-temperature seasons, as well as due to transmission high-temperature protection caused by slippage of the torque converter lock-up. How to deal with the transmission warning light: If the transmission warning light comes on but no other abnormalities are detected, and the engine speed and vehicle speed are normal as usual, you can continue driving in this case. Then, arrange to check the cause of the transmission failure as soon as possible.
I've repaired quite a few Geely Vision X3s, and the most common transmission issues are rough shifting or unusual noises. The causes include insufficient or aged transmission fluid leading to poor lubrication; faulty sensors like the speed sensor causing misjudgment; problems with the mechatronic control unit affecting response; or mechanical wear such as damaged clutch plates. If you experience noticeable jerking during startup, promptly visit a 4S shop for diagnosis—don't attempt disassembly yourself. They use diagnostic tools to read fault codes, accurately identify the issue, and resolve it by replacing parts or adding new fluids. Maintenance is crucial: regular fluid changes (every 40,000–50,000 km) can prevent major problems. Safety reminder: If a fault occurs, turn on hazard lights and pull over to avoid delaying repairs. Addressing issues early reduces costs and ensures smooth driving.
