What Causes the Transmission Failure of Geely Emgrand?

Here are the specific reasons for transmission failure in Geely Emgrand: 1. If the transmission emits a dry metal friction sound, it indicates insufficient oil or poor oil quality. Refill oil and check its quality, replacing if necessary; 2. If a noticeable noise occurs when shifting into a certain gear while driving, it suggests wear on the gear teeth of that gear. Periodic noise indicates damage to individual teeth; 3. Noise in neutral that disappears when the clutch pedal is depressed usually points to issues with the front or rear bearings of the primary shaft or the constant mesh gear. If noise occurs in all gears, it is likely due to the rear bearing of the secondary shaft; 4. Sudden impact sounds during transmission operation often indicate broken gear teeth. The transmission cover should be promptly removed for inspection to prevent further component damage; 5. If noise only occurs when shifting into a certain gear while driving, check whether the meshing gears are improperly matched after confirming other components are intact. Reassembling a new pair of gears may be necessary; 6. If gear collision noises occur during shifting, possible causes include non-separation of the clutch, incorrect clutch pedal travel, damaged synchronizer, excessive idle speed, improper gear lever adjustment, or tight guide bushing. In such cases, first check if the clutch can separate, then adjust the idle speed or gear lever position, and inspect the tightness between the guide bushing and the release bearing.

I previously experienced gear-shifting stiffness when driving a manual Emgrand. Actually, common issues fall into just a few categories. For manual transmissions, veteran drivers know the clutch three-piece set is most prone to problems - after about 100,000 km, pressure plate wear causes slipping, making gear shifts shaky. Worn synchronizer rings make gears feel like they're grinding through sand, especially noticeable in reverse. That time I delayed changing transmission fluid until 60,000 km, sludge coated the gears causing direct metal contact - shifting into third produced loud rattling. Automatic transmissions are even more delicate - control modules tend to malfunction randomly, overheating fluid makes solenoids fail, creating jerky shifts like riding a horse. My neighbor's car had clogged valve body filters, which the mechanic said resulted from long-term urban short-distance driving. If you notice rough shifting, first check fluid condition - never force gears, or you might destroy the entire transmission.

A mechanic once mentioned that besides normal wear and tear, the Emgrand's transmission has particularly annoying electronic control system issues. If the TCU module gets damp, it starts sending erratic commands—like when shifting to Drive but the car won't move because the gearshift signal never reaches the ECU. A faulty crankshaft position sensor is even worse: at 2,000 RPM, the transmission thinks the engine has stalled and locks the gear. Tiny metal shavings in the hydraulic system's oil passages can jam the solenoid valves, causing harsh shifts. One owner used the wrong ATF fluid, which burned the clutch plates and filled the car with a scorched smell. Oxidized sensor connectors causing intermittent faults are the trickiest to diagnose—the problem comes and goes. If the check engine light appears, scan for trouble codes and check live data—catching small issues early saves big repair bills later.

Automatic transmission issues are mostly concentrated in cooling and maintenance. The transmission oil cooler shares the radiator, and coolant leaking into the oil circuit can cause the friction plates to slip. I've seen cases where aggressive driving for half an hour caused the oil temperature to soar to 140°C, triggering the protection mode directly. In older cars, slow leaks from aging oil seals are hard to detect, and low oil levels lead to dry grinding of gears. Don't believe the myth of maintenance-free transmissions—replacing the oil with OEM fluid every 40,000 kilometers is the safest approach. For manual transmissions, grinding noises when reversing are often due to worn shift fork shafts, with noticeably longer gear engagement. Regular inspection of engine mounts is crucial, as engine sagging can damage the shift cables.

How to Change Transmission Oil for Magotan?

Here are the steps to change transmission oil for Magotan: 1. First add transmission cleaner into the gearbox to decompose the oil film on gears as much as possible, then lift the vehicle. 2. Shift between D and R gears, and drive for 5-10 minutes. 3. After these two steps, the automatic transmission will be cleaned, so now drain the old oil. Here is some information about transmission: 1. Unlike engine oil change, automatic transmission fluid replacement requires specialized equipment to completely remove old lubricant and other residues. 2. 49% of automatic transmission fluid cannot be drained by atmospheric pressure, and the remaining oil will mix with sludge and impurities in valve body, torque converter and cooling lines, which may cause internal passage blockage if not thoroughly cleaned.

How to Check Engine Oil Level?

Here are the steps to check the engine oil level: 1. Choose a flat surface and check with the dipstick 15 minutes after the engine is turned off. Before checking, remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a tissue. 2. Then reinsert the dipstick until the handle is firmly seated in the tube. 3. Finally, remove the dipstick, hold it horizontally, and observe the oil level. If the oil level is at or below the minimum mark, you should add more oil. Here is some related information: 1. Engine oil, known as the lifeblood of a car, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning and shock absorption for the engine. 2. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, giving it new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
