Will the Transmission Get Waterlogged After Wading?
1 Answers
Wading can cause water to enter the transmission. Here are the specific details about the transmission: 1. Definition: The transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. An automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. 2. Maintenance Methods: Correctly replace the transmission fluid. A better method is dynamic fluid replacement, which uses specialized transmission cleaning equipment to fully circulate the old fluid during operation, drain it completely, and then add new transmission fluid, achieving a replacement rate of over 90% and ensuring good results. Check the automatic transmission fluid level properly. The method for checking automatic transmission fluid differs from engine oil. Engine oil is checked when the vehicle is cold, while transmission fluid needs to be preheated to about 50°C. Then, after shifting the gear lever through each position for 2 seconds and placing it in park, the fluid level on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it is insufficient, add the same quality fluid promptly.
