What Causes the Transmission Temperature to Rise?
1 Answers
Transmission temperature rise can be caused by: 1. Clogged oil suction filter screen; 2. Poor radiator cooling capacity; 3. Severe machine overload operation; 4. Severe wear or damage to the transmission hydraulic pump; 5. Serious system leakage, improper operation of the torque converter inlet proportional valve; 6. Transmission clutch slipping. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, also known as a gearbox. Solutions for rising transmission temperature include: 1. Check the oil level via the transmission dipstick and top up if it's too low; 2. Remove the transmission oil cooler and oil pipe lines, inspect and clean them before reinstalling; 3. Remove the oil suction filter screen and magnetic filter element together, inspect and clean them before reinstalling; 4. Poor radiator cooling capacity can cause engine overheating. First, check if the fan belt is working properly, then inspect the radiator for dirt and clean it if necessary.
