Automatic Transmission Troubleshooting

Majority of people prefer to ride automatic transmission cars rather than manual transmission vehicles. This is primarily because these cars are easy to drive and also such transmissions rarely cause any trouble. However, if the automatic transmission does cause trouble, it can be a real problem for the driver. In such a case, the driver would be forced to take the vehicle to a garage to be repaired by a mechanic and he or she would be saddled with an expensive repair bill.

Therefore, doing an automatic transmission troubleshooting can help you save money. Some of the most common problems seen in automatic transmission are as follows:

  • The problem that causes the biggest headache for a driver is leakage of fluid. This occurs when the filler tube gets loose, or when the pan gasket gets damaged. This problem can be fixed by tightening all the blots that are around the gasket or tightening the tube fixture. In case the leak does not get fixed, then the gasket would have to be replaced.
  • At times, the gears may slip. This can happen when there is a problem in the linkage control or the vacuum control. It can also take place when the gear fluid levels reduce. At times, damage to the internal clutch can result in gear shifting problem. The easiest way to avert this problem is by checking the fluid levels regularly and topping it up before the levels fall too low.
  • You can also have a transmission problem if the level of the fluid is too high. This will result in the fluid spilling out. If the oil filter gets clogged, it can also cause the fluid to spill over. If this occurs, replace the filter and ensure that the fluid levels are correct.
  • At times the transmission can get heated and this could lead to it working incorrectly. This problem occurs because the fluid cooler lines get clogged. Even a problem with the oil pump or incorrect fluid amounts can result in the transmission overheating. This problem can be solved by changing the cooler line and/or by replenishing the fluid.
