Things to Check before buying Transmission

 

Driving in stop-and-go traffic for an extended period of idling the vehicle too long, driving off-road can lead to a breakage in the transmission. Transmission is an indispensable part of the vehicle as it multiplies the engine torque and propels the weight of the vehicle. Responsible for stress-free driving, improper operation of the transmission can lead to its failure.

Know where you could be going wrong?

Vehicle overheating

Automatic transmissions can operate at a maximum of 200 degrees. When you go beyond this limit by every 20 degrees you are risking the life of your transmission.

Dropping of fluid level 

If you do not maintain the fluid level which cools the internal components in the transmission, this leads to overheating and failure of the transmission. 

Fluid Needs Change

Transmission fluid also becomes dirty like the engine fluid and needs to be changed. Dirty fluid can also lead to overheating and failure of gaskets and seals. 

Incorrect fluid

Follow the automobile manual to know which mobile type is suitable for your vehicle. The fluid should not be mixed with other fluids as that would harm your transmission. 

Let the transmission cool

Allow your transmission to cool, give your automobile rest. The transmission overheats if not allowed to cool for at least a few hours. 

Start Stop gradually. 

While driving do not abruptly start or stop your vehicle. Start the engine and once heated take off gradually in the first gear and then graduate to more. The same should be followed while bringing the vehicle to a halt. 

Forced brake

When the vehicle is on high RPM a forced downshift can cause excessive wear and tear on the clutch and bands, the transmission components. 

Using shift lever to reverse when the engine is idle

When the engine is on the fast idle abrupt engagement of the transmission will lead to clutch, gear, bands, sets and driveline and engine and transmission failure. 

 

The price of an original transmission can be daunting while the used transmission is pocket friendly and if purchased on sale from a reliable source, it can last long. 

Things to Check before buying automatic used transmission.

• Check if the fluid looks or smells burnt.
• Pull the pan to see if there is a lot of clutch material on it.
• Check if transmission fluid looks dirty.
• Hold down the pedal brake with one foot, and step on the gas pedal with the other foot and rev up the engine while using parking brakes for a few seconds. If the engine cannot rev for long there may be some issues with the transmission.

• Put your transmission on first gear check the output shaft rotation speed as you turn on the input shaft.
• Shift to second gear once again change the output shaft transmission speed, notice carefully if the speed is slower than when it was in the first gear. 
• Subsequently, check all gears to check if the transmission is shifting gears properly. 
• Also, check if the performance matches your expectation.
• Put it on reverse gear to see if the output shaft counter spins.
