3 Symptoms of Burnt Transmission Fluid

 

As you smell the odor from your engine area if you ever smell these kinds of foul odor stop your vehicle immediately and inspect your vehicle physically. It can be due to the transmission problems, brunt transmission fluid loses its viscosity to lubricate the moving components in the transmission. It can cause serious damage if you drive your vehicle in that situation and don’t change the transmission fluid at the regular intervals recommended by the manufacturers. In this article, we will discuss the common symptoms that appear when the transmission fluid gets burnt.

 

Top 3 Burnt Transmission Fluid Symptoms:

 

(1) Burning Odor:

As you smell the odor of burnt transmission fluid coming from the interior of the engine of your vehicle, physically examination will indicate that transmission fluid is low or need to be replaced. Due to the transmission fluid losses, its viscosity the gears overheated because of the friction and it produce intense burning order.

 

(2) Leakage of Transmission Fluid:

To identify any leaks of transmission fluid due to the gasket worn out is the simple way to identify the issue of the transmission. It causes the problem in gear shifting, indicates that gears are dried up due to the low transmission fluid as a result of leakage. Transmission fluid is different than motor oil because transmission fluid doesn’t play part in the combustion process and hence running out of fluid means that there is some sort of leak somewhere which is causing the entire gearbox to heat up and this increase friction.

 

(3) Gear Shifting Problems:

Gears are the most important component of the vehicle, as you feel difficulty in gear changing that could indicate that the transmission system needs to be inspected. When you try to shift gear and you find hesitation in shifting gears it means that your transmission needs to be repaired. The leakage of transmission fluid is also a common cause of the transmission problem. The fluid of the transmission get leak as I told you above it may be due to gasket leak or a tiny hole on the cover of the transmission can be the main cause which decreases the level of the fluid, as a result, the friction between the gear rise and it increases the temperature which burnt the remaining transmission fluid.
