Car transmission system: five problems to take into account

There are things that can go wrong in your car. Check these five points to see if your car has problems and prevent a major breakdown.

 

First of all, let ‘s be clear what the transmission system. This system is the set of elements in the car that aim to get the motor rotation to the drive wheels. With this system also the variation of the transmission ratio between the crankshaft and the wheels is achieved.

 

Now that we have refreshed the memory, we will indicate which are the warnings that something can go wrong with the transmission:

 

  1. This problem is very common in manual transmissions. When pressing the clutch pedal, any of the changes do not enter, either when you want to leave the neutral or move from first to second or third. The main causes are that the transmission fluid is low or has low viscosity.

 

  1. The transmission makes noises in neutral l: Sometimes you can hear noise when the transmission is in neutral. This is not very common, but it could be because some parts are worn out.

 

  1. The clutch is dragging or sticking: A trailing clutch is one that fails to disengage the clutch disc pressure plate or flywheel, when the driver presses. This is associated with the clutch pedal being loose.

 

  1. Liquid Spill: One of the easiest ways to identify the gearbox needs attention is when there is transmission fluid spill. In automatic boxes this fluid is vital for the transmission system, so if you notice marks of oil in your yard you have to be careful.

 

  1. Lack of response: The transmissions are designed to enter correctly every time a change is made, when that does not happen, it is a clear warning that something is wrong.

 

In these cases it may be due to a clutch deteriorated so much in the case of transmission systems manual and automatic.
