Automatic transmission friction disc: Repair kit
Purpose
Friction discs are important components of an automatic transmission (AT) that transmit torque between the various components of the transmission. Replacing worn or damaged friction discs using a repair kit is necessary to ensure smooth operation and longevity of the automatic transmission.
Equipment
An automatic transmission friction disc repair kit usually includes:
* One or more friction discs
* Steel plates (if applicable)
* Seals and gaskets
* Fasteners (bolts, nuts)
Types of automatic transmission friction discs
There are two main types of automatic transmission friction discs:
* Friction discs with one-sided friction surface: Have a friction surface on one side only.
* Double-Sided Friction Discs: Features a friction surface on both sides for higher load capacity and longer service life.
Symptoms of wear or damage to automatic transmission friction discs
* Slipping when changing gears
* Shuffling or vibration when operating the automatic transmission
*Loss of power or transmission efficiency
* Automatic transmission related fault codes
Replacing automatic transmission friction discs
Replacing automatic transmission friction discs is a complex process that requires special knowledge and tools. It is recommended to have this operation performed by a qualified mechanic.
Advantages of using an automatic transmission friction disc repair kit
* Saves time and costs compared to purchasing individual components.
* Guaranteed compliance of all parts to ensure optimal operation of the automatic transmission.
* Increasing the service life and reliability of automatic transmissions by replacing worn or damaged components.
