Yes, an automatic transmission can cause the engine to stall.
Possible reasons:
* Faulty torque converter: A damaged or slipping torque converter can cause the crankshaft to rotate unevenly, resulting in stalling.
* Faulty input shaft speed sensor: A faulty input shaft speed sensor can give incorrect readings to the automatic transmission control unit, resulting in incorrect gear shifting and uneven rotation of the crankshaft.
* Faulty pressure regulator: A faulty pressure regulator can cause incorrect pressure in the automatic transmission hydraulic system, which can affect gear shifting and crankshaft rotation.
* Worn or damaged clutches: Worn or damaged clutches can cause slipping or vibration when shifting, causing the crankshaft to rotate unevenly.
* Electrical problems: Electrical problems in the automatic transmission can affect interaction with the engine and lead to stalling.
Symptoms:
* Engine vibration that occurs when driving or accelerating.
* Uneven gear shifting.
* Strange noise or vibration when operating the automatic transmission.
Diagnostics and repair:
* Diagnosis of the problem will require checking the engine and automatic transmission using a diagnostic scanner and inspection.
*Repair will depend on the specific cause. This may include replacing the torque converter, input shaft speed sensor, pressure regulator, clutches, or repairing any electrical problems.
