COMMON PROBLEMS
Leaks and Old Fluid
Leaking old transmission fluid can be easily confused with engine oil.
Leaks create several problems:
- Hard shifting due to insufficient fluid.
- Foreign material in the transmission which can damage the transmission, and inhibit transmission fluid flow.
- A gummed up transmission filter, which severely restricts transmission fluid flow.
- A need to continually refill the fluid.
- A dirty mess all over wherever you take your vehicle.
Shifting
Hard shifting
Jerky, banging, jolting are never a good sign when a vehicle is shifting.
Grinding when shifting. You can hear, and feel the damage being done to the transmission.
Hard shifting causes severe transmission wear, and will lead to high cost repairs very quickly.
Failed Shifting
- When the vehicle will not shift, or will not shift into some gears.
- No reverse.
- Grinding when shifting into certain gears.
