Brake band automatic transmission Nissan Almera Classic
Purpose:
The Nissan Almera Classic automatic transmission brake band package is used to smoothly stop the transmission and prevent reversing when parked.
Design:
* Belt: Flexible steel belt with friction linings on the inner surface.
* Piston: The hydraulic piston that forces the belt against the drum body.
* Drum body: A closed cylinder that contains the belt and piston.
Working principle:
* When the transmission is shifted into park or reverse, hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston.
* The piston moves forward, pressing the belt against the drum body.
* Friction linings on the belt create friction with the inner surface of the drum housing, stopping the transmission.
Malfunctions:
* Friction lining wear: Over time, friction linings can wear out, causing the belt to slip and reduce braking performance.
* Hydraulic piston leakage: Hydraulic piston leakage can result in reduced pressure and reduced braking performance.
* Belt Sticking: If the belt becomes stuck in the drum housing, it can restrict its movement and cause shifting problems.
Symptoms of malfunctions:
*Transmission Slip: The transmission may slip or fail to stop when shifting into Park or Reverse.
* Difficulty shifting gears: Difficulty or failure may occur when shifting gears.
* Increased wear of friction linings: Wear of friction linings can lead to a burning smell in the transmission fluid.
Troubleshooting:
* Replacing friction linings: If the friction linings are worn out, they should be replaced.
* Replacing the hydraulic piston: If the piston is leaking, it should be replaced.
* Belt Gap Adjustment: Belt gap should be adjusted according to manufacturer specifications.
* Drum Housing Repair or Replacement: If the drum housing is damaged or worn, it may require repair or replacement.
It is important to note that repair or maintenance of the Nissan Almera Classic automatic transmission brake band should be left to a qualified automatic transmission mechanic.
