What to Do When the Car Transmission Fails?
1 Answers
Disassemble the automatic transmission and inspect each component of the planetary gear mechanism for signs of wear, check for any broken gears, examine the one-way overrunning clutch for wear or sticking, and inspect the bearings or thrust washers for damage. If any abnormalities are found, they should be replaced. The correct usage methods for the transmission are as follows: 1. Avoid coasting in N gear: Manual transmissions can coast in neutral, but automatic transmissions absolutely cannot. The principle of an automatic transmission differs from that of a manual transmission; coasting in N gear can easily burn out the transmission. 2. Do not shift to P gear at traffic lights: When waiting at a traffic light, do not shift into P gear (parking gear). If the car behind rear-ends you at this time, it can cause transmission damage. When parking, you can first apply the foot brake and wait until the car comes to a complete stop before shifting to P gear to avoid P gear hesitation. 3. Avoid shifting gears too quickly: Many people often shift from D gear to R gear before the car comes to a complete stop, creating an instant "reverse rotation pressure" that pushes against the reverse gear clutch plates. Over time, this will cause excessive wear on the clutch plates.
