Why Has the Transmission Fluid Completely Leaked Out?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid may completely leak out due to the degraded sealing performance of the transmission oil pan gasket. In such cases, simply replacing the transmission oil pan gasket will resolve the issue. Hazards of not replacing transmission fluid: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impaired normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage of the transmission valve body. Transmission fluid is different from engine oil. Although both serve a lubricating purpose, their specific roles differ and should not be confused. Differences: Engine oil is the lubricant for the engine system, possessing properties such as oxidation resistance, anti-wear, and corrosion prevention. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is primarily used to keep the gear shift system clean and extend the service life of internal transmission components. Due to the distinct structures and operating environments of transmissions and engines, transmission fluid cannot be used as engine oil, nor can engine oil be used as transmission fluid.
