What is the method for sealing the transmission?
2 Answers
Apply sealant to the leakage point, which involves cleaning the surface sludge before applying the sealant. This method does not require disassembling the transmission structure. It is not ruled out that some transmissions may experience leakage issues. If traces of fluid flow are observed on the oil-stained surface, the vehicle owner should promptly visit a service center for inspection. If the mating surface of the transmission housing is damaged, an appropriately thickened paper gasket should be added at the damaged area. If the sealing paper gasket is damaged, it should be replaced with an identical one. Loose screws should be tightened in a timely manner.
As an ordinary car owner, I've experienced the distress of transmission oil leaks. That time, I was startled to find small oil stains under the car. The key method for sealing transmissions is using rubber gaskets or sealant to achieve oil isolation. Common components include cover gaskets, shaft seals, or oil pan gaskets. During operation, it's essential to first clean the transmission surface thoroughly, especially removing oil residues to avoid affecting the sealing performance. When replacing gaskets, it's best to choose high-quality original parts. During manual installation, ensure screws are evenly tightened to prevent misalignment that could accelerate wear and lead to leaks again. The lesson I learned is to regularly inspect under the car after parking. If fresh oil stains are spotted, address them immediately. During professional repairs, mechanics often use high-temperature silicone sealant as an auxiliary, applying it to contact surfaces before assembly, but be careful not to apply too thick a layer to avoid affecting heat dissipation. Overall, proper sealing can prevent mechanical failures caused by transmission oil shortages and overheating. Performing maintenance every 30,000 to 50,000 miles along with oil changes saves money and enhances driving safety.
