What is gear slippage?
1 Answers
Automotive gear slippage primarily occurs due to wear, looseness, damage of transmission components, or improper adjustment of mating clearances. Below are potential causes of gear slippage: 1. Worn, loose, fractured, or missing shift lever locating pins, causing loss of control and random swinging. 2. Corrosion failure of the gearshift fork shaft interlock mechanism; excessive wear and looseness of the shift lever ball head. 3. Conical wear of gears, gear rings, or gear sleeves along the tooth length direction, leading to disengagement under axial forces generated during operation. 4. Excessive corrosion of shift fork shaft grooves, locking pins, etc.; bent or deformed shift forks, or excessive wear between working surfaces and gear ring grooves. 5. Loosening of the rear fixing nut on the secondary shaft, causing axial movement. 6. Loose or disassembled synchronizer locking pins, resulting in cone surface failure.
