Flushing the automatic transmission with diesel fuel is highly not recommended and can lead to serious damage:
* Destruction of friction clutches: Diesel fuel can dissolve friction linings, which are responsible for transmitting power to the automatic transmission. This will cause slippage and overheating.
* Seal Damage: Diesel oil can destroy rubber and plastic seals, causing fluid leaks and reduced system pressure.
* Corrosion: Diesel fuel contains impurities that can cause corrosion of metal components of the automatic transmission. This will lead to premature wear and failure.
* Malfunction of solenoids: Diesel oil can clog or damage the solenoids responsible for shifting gears. This can lead to incorrect operation of the automatic transmission.
Proper automatic transmission flushing
To flush the automatic transmission, it is necessary to use specially developed fluids that are compatible with the materials and components of the automatic transmission. These fluids are designed to remove contaminants and deposits without damaging the system.
An automatic transmission flush should be performed by a qualified mechanic using specialized equipment and following the correct procedures.
