What problems can occur with low transmission fluid?
1 Answers
Low transmission fluid can cause the following problems: 1. Jerky gear shifting and rough transmission operation; 2. When accelerating, the increase in engine RPM doesn't correspond with vehicle speed - while RPM rises normally, the vehicle fails to gain speed properly, feeling as if it's not in gear, and starting becomes particularly difficult; 3. In severe cases, it can lead to transmission overheating and damage, as bearings lack proper lubrication, increasing friction and wear; 4. Noticeable noise, especially during high-speed driving. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. Maintaining cleanliness of the gear system; 2. Lubricating transmission components. Warning signs for transmission fluid replacement include: 1. Vehicle vibration and jerky gear changes; 2. Transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; 3. Engine stalling; 4. Unusual noises.
