What is MTF Transmission Oil?
1 Answers
MT stands for manual transmission, and 'isf' denotes oil, so MTF refers to manual transmission oil. It is commonly known as gear oil. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates smoothly and prolonging the lifespan of the transmission components. Below are common transmission faults: 1. Oil leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission housing or oil pan can be caused by aging seals leading to poor sealing, or manufacturing defects resulting in porosity in the housing. 2. Engine stalling when shifting into gear: If the engine stalls when shifting into D or R, the issue might be due to a faulty lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or issues with components or wiring, can cause this. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers can also lead to this issue. 4. No response when shifting into gear: The vehicle does not move after shifting into D or R and releasing the brake. This is often caused by damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Abnormal noises: Unusual sounds from the transmission area while driving are usually due to worn parts or improper installation of the transmission.
