What happens when the transmission fluid is low?
1 Answers
When the transmission fluid is low, the following situations may occur: 1. The transmission noise will become significantly louder; 2. It will affect driving comfort; 3. The gear shifting jerkiness will increase; 4. It will become more difficult to engage gears. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates to extend the life of the transmission device, and provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission fluid is divided into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid. Automatic transmission fluid, referred to as ATF, is specifically designed for automatic transmissions. Manual transmission fluid is generally called gear oil, which is used for lubricating hypoid gear drive shafts and manual transmissions under harsh operating conditions with high impact loads.
