Why is it difficult to shift gears in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
There are mainly three reasons for difficulty in shifting gears in an automatic transmission: 1. Operational factors: Incorrect operation by the driver, where the speed does not match the gear, leading to difficulty in shifting. This can be resolved as the driver gains experience and becomes more proficient. 2. Clutch factors: Rust on the transmission's primary shaft can prevent the clutch driven disc from moving properly, resulting in poor return and difficulty in engaging gears along the normal path. 3. Transmission factors: Old transmission fluid needs to be replaced. If not replaced in time, its lubrication effectiveness decreases, making gear shifting more strenuous.
