Automatic transmission cars, which vehicle brands have started to produce more and more, have enabled very convenient and comfortable driving. However, we encounter some malfunctions. Automatic transmission malfunctions are sometimes annoying. If it goes forward, it will cause extreme material damage, and if precautions are not taken, it will cause the vehicle to completely lose its functionality. Let's start by explaining the frequently seen automatic transmission malfunctions and the parts that cause the malfunction.
Causes of Automatic Transmission Failure
Vehicles with automatic transmission are comfortable and the driving pleasure is extremely comfortable on long roads or in traffic. Besides being comfortable, there are also malfunctions that can cause major damage when they occur. In order to avoid falling into that situation, general maintenance should be carried out regularly and the service should be visited whenever a malfunction is suspected. The main reasons for malfunctions in automatic transmissions are as follows:
Leaks in Transmission Oil
The transmission is linked to an automatic transmission. If the oil level inside runs out or leaks occur, automatic transmission parts will not be supplied with enough oil. It manifests itself with small leaks from under the vehicle. It is one of the extremely insidious malfunctions. It is difficult to notice by eye. If there is any stiffness, difficulty or problems in shifting related to the gear, the gearbox section of the vehicle should definitely be reviewed.
Problem of Lack of Oil in the Gears
Vehicles with automatic transmission work in conjunction with the transmission. In cases such as oil leakage and leakage, sufficient oil formation is not provided in the gear section. This affects automatic transmission. Since not enough oil fluid will reach the gear, time will be lost during stalling and gear shifting. The oil content should be checked periodically.
Excessive Lubrication of Gear Oil Seal
Due to oil leaks or the amount of oil exceeding the level, the felt parts become excessively lubricated. As a result of lubrication, the seals cannot function. It is of great importance in smooth shifting of automatic transmission. If there is a passage restriction, the gears will wear out over time and reach the level of deterioration.
Knocking Noise During Gear Shifts
It is the most common problem among automatic transmission malfunctions. There is a noise when shifting gears and sometimes an excessive knocking sound persists. Transmission oil exhaustion, leakage problems are technical problems that lead to malfunctions in the shaft parts of the vehicle. If you hear a sound or sounds similar to this, you should contact the service as soon as possible.
Gear Shifts Not Fully Efficient
Since you use the vehicle constantly and feel its features very well, if the gear shifts cannot be done at a certain quality and sometimes there is difficulty, it may be the beginning of a malfunction. You can tell by looking at the gear shifting time and the acceleration of the vehicle.
