The life of an automatic transmission (AT) depends on many factors, including:
* automatic transmission type
*driving conditions
* maintenance frequency
* quality of transmission fluid
On average:
* Hydraulic automatic transmission: 150,000 – 250,000 km
* Automatic transmission with dual clutch: 120,000 – 170,000 km
* CVTs (CVT): 100,000 – 150,000 km
Factors affecting the service life of the automatic transmission:
*Driving type: Aggressive driving, towing heavy loads or driving for long periods in traffic will shorten the lifespan.
*Environmental conditions: Extreme temperatures or salty roads can damage automatic transmission components.
* Regular maintenance: timely replacement of transmission fluid and filter extends the life of the automatic transmission.
*Transmission Fluid Type: Using the correct type of fluid recommended by the manufacturer is critical.
* Quality of manufacture and design: The quality of manufacture and design of the automatic transmission also affects its durability.
Signs of automatic transmission wear:
* Gear slippage
*Shocks or vibrations when shifting gears
*Transmission fluid leaks
* Strange noises
* Delay in gear shifting
