Why is the gear shifting not smooth after changing the transmission oil?
1 Answers
Gear shifting not being smooth after changing the transmission oil is likely due to the poor quality of the transmission oil used. It is recommended to replace it with transmission oil of the appropriate viscosity. Transmission oil is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the structure of the transmission, transmission oil is categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission oil. ATF is specifically designed for automatic transmissions, while manual transmission oil is used for lubricating hypoid gear drive shafts and manual transmissions that operate under severe conditions with high impact loads.
