What is the reason for the automatic transmission failure in Chery Cowin C3?
2 Answers
Chery Cowin C3 automatic transmission failure is caused by persistent dirt and impurities inside, especially when they accumulate in the valve body, forming blockages that prevent effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impact, and slippage issues. Additionally, the problem of high transmission temperature cannot be ignored. High Transmission Temperature: High transmission temperature can degrade the quality and friction characteristics of automatic transmission fluid, increasing friction and wear, which results in transmission noise. At the same time, sludge (impurities or dirt) can form inside the transmission (e.g., in the valve body), causing jerking and impact. Introduction to Automatic Transmission: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.
As an ordinary car owner in a small town, I've driven the Chery Cowin C3, and the most common automatic transmission issues are delayed gear shifting or sudden failure to shift, especially when climbing hills or accelerating. This is caused by transmission signal problems due to aged transmission fluid or clogged solenoid valves. I've personally seen my neighbor's car struggle with this, but it was resolved after he replaced the fluid and cleaned the valve body. However, if not addressed promptly, it can wear out the clutch and increase fuel consumption. Now, regular maintenance is my habit, and checking fluid levels and color is key. If your car behaves similarly, I recommend taking it to a repair shop to scan for trouble codes to avoid unexpected stops on the highway. Safety first—don't wait too long and risk damaging major components.
