What is the Slipping Phenomenon of an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission slipping phenomenon occurs when you press the accelerator pedal during startup, the engine speed increases rapidly, but the vehicle speed rises very slowly. Transmission slipping is one of the more common transmission failures. In automatic transmissions, slipping is often accompanied by severe wear or burning of the clutch or brake friction plates. If the phenomenon persists after replacement, it indicates that the true cause of the slipping has not been identified. For automatic transmission slipping, the first step should be to check the hydraulic fluid level. If the fluid level is too low or too high, adjust it to the normal level before further inspection. If the transmission no longer slips after adjusting the fluid level, it means the slipping issue has been resolved without the need to disassemble the transmission. It is important to note that if the hydraulic fluid appears brown-black or has a burnt smell, the automatic transmission should be disassembled for inspection. Additionally, the oil pump or valve can be serviced accordingly based on the oil pressure in the circuit, and the transmission's sealing rings and gaskets should be replaced promptly.
