Automatic transmission has high RPM but cannot accelerate because the transmission oil is too dirty or insufficient, causing the transmission to malfunction and requiring immediate inspection. The following are specific reasons: Insufficient transmission oil: Check the transmission oil level. If the level is too low or too high, it should be adjusted accordingly. If the oil level is too low or too high, or if there is a transmission oil leak, it can easily cause the oil pump to suck in air, resulting in poor lubrication and incomplete operation, leading to slipping. Dirty transmission oil: If the oil appears dark brown or has a burnt smell, it indicates that the transmission oil is very dirty. In severe cases, it can even clog the oil passages, causing abnormal operation of the transmission valve body. In this case, the transmission oil needs to be replaced.

How to Check the Date on a Wheel?

The method to check the date on a wheel is by locating the DOT mark, which is usually embossed on one side of the tire. The last four digits of this mark provide information about the production date. These four digits are in the format AABB, where the first two digits AA indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits BB indicate the year. For example, 3513 means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2013, approximately around September 2013. A wheel is a rotating component that bears the load between the tire and the axle, typically consisting of two main parts: the rim and the spokes. The rim is the part of the wheel where the tire is mounted and supported, while the spokes are the supporting components between the axle and the rim.
