What to do if the transmission of the 2012 Focus overheats?
1 Answers
Solutions for the overheating transmission of the 2012 Focus include regularly cleaning the vehicle's radiator, purchasing guaranteed genuine transmission fluid, and regularly replacing the vehicle's transmission fluid. The details are as follows: 1. Regularly clean the vehicle's radiator: Poor performance of the cooling system can lead to many problems. The high-temperature transmission fluid coming out of the transmission does not get sufficiently cooled before returning to the transmission. The high-speed rotating torque converter will bear a very heavy load if it does not get proper cooling. 2. Purchase guaranteed genuine transmission fluid: Generally speaking, inferior fluid has poor fluidity and can coke at high temperatures, causing changes in the clutch engagement rate, which leads to a decline in shift quality, resulting in delayed or harsh shifts. This can further cause disengagement, slippage, or even inability to drive, and in severe cases, it can lead to the transmission being scrapped. 3. Regularly replace the vehicle's transmission fluid: Too fine metal shavings can enter the automatic transmission through the oil circuit, causing damage to some mechanical components. Therefore, it is important to develop good maintenance habits, regularly replace the transmission fluid, and keep the vehicle in better working condition.
