What Causes Transmission Oil Leakage?
1 Answers
Transmission oil leakage causes: 1. Poor sealing gaskets in various transmission parts, damaged oil seals or loose fastening bolts, cracked transmission housing, excessive gear oil, clogged transmission vent holes, worn oil seals or flanges, excessive axial end clearance, loose bearing seats and bearings, damaged gaskets; 2. Improper lubricant usage, gaps on sealing surfaces, pressure differentials on both sides of seals. Eliminating or reducing any of these factors can prevent or minimize leakage. The transmission mainly refers to a vehicle's gearbox, which comes in manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed/torque variation through different gear combinations; Automatic transmissions (AT) comprise torque converters, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation systems and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed/torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
