*Cooling problems such as a faulty radiator
3. Incorrect operation:
* Aggressive driving, hard shifts and holding the car in gear on hills
* Driving a car with a tow in N mode (neutral)
4. Mechanical faults:
* Wear of friction discs, bands and seals
*Transmission shaft, planetary gear, or torque converter problems
5. Electrical problems:
* Malfunctions of solenoids, sensors or electronic control unit (ECU)
6. Pollution:

*Transmission fluid leak
* Transmission fault indicator on the dashboard
Ways to prevent automatic transmission breakdowns:
*Perform regular maintenance, including changing transmission fluid and filter
