Automatic transmission vehicles sometimes experience vibration problems. These vibrations are particularly noticeable when starting off. Automatic transmission vibration is generally a sign of a malfunction progressing around the transmission itself. When the transmission is not working correctly, serious problems arise with automatic gear changes. Gear shift vibration can progress to the point where the transmission fails to engage the gears correctly and cancels gear changes after a certain period.
Automatic Transmission Malfunction
Automatic transmission vibration malfunctions are caused by the transmission affecting gear changes. If the gear engagement doesn't occur, a vibration problem arises during automatic gear changes. If the transmission causes a clutch problem, it will cause vibration during acceleration. If the vehicle vibrates while starting, it means the transmission is not engaging. If the transmission does not fully engage the clutch connection between the automatic gears, it will cause short-term or severe vibration during acceleration. While the vehicle is in motion, the noise and vibration intensity may increase due to the transmission. When the severity of the malfunction increases, gear changes may be completely prevented. When the connection with the gear change is broken, the transmission does not allow gear changes due to the clutch.
How to fix a transmission malfunction?
When a transmission gear shifting malfunction occurs, all transmission components are inspected. Connections to the automatic transmission are examined, and any wear or breakage in the parts leading to the gearbox is repaired. During diagnosis, diagnostic tools are used to investigate technical problems damaging the transmission. Once the cause of the automatic transmission not engaging is identified, the transmission is cleaned and parts are replaced smoothly. It is advisable to contact a technical service center promptly when a vibration problem is detected in the vehicle. As the malfunction progresses, it can lead to the transmission becoming completely inoperable and requiring a complete replacement.
Automatic Transmission Maintenance
In automatic transmission vehicles, the gearbox is extremely important. It establishes a clutch connection with gear changes. Problems originating from the gearbox reduce its lifespan. Regular gearbox maintenance is essential. The automatic transmission is directly connected to the gearbox. Its smooth operation depends on the gearbox being in perfect working order. If technical malfunctions occur in the gearbox, vibrations and even stalling can occur during gear changes. A gearbox check at least 1-2 times a year is recommended.
