Symptoms of a clogged automatic transmission filter:
* Gear shifting problems: Delay or jerkiness when shifting gears due to insufficient fluid pressure.
*Transmission slipping: The transmission is unable to transmit torque properly, resulting in slipping.
* Overheating: A clogged filter restricts fluid flow, leading to heat buildup and possible transmission damage.
* Humming or whining: A clogged filter creates turbulence in the fluid flow, resulting in noise.
*Poor Acceleration: A clogged filter makes it difficult to pump fluid and reduces transmission efficiency, resulting in poor acceleration.
* Increased fuel consumption: A clogged filter increases resistance to fluid flow, which can lead to increased fuel consumption.
* Trouble Codes: Trouble codes related to transmission pressure or fluid flow problems may indicate a clogged filter.
* Fluid Leak: A clogged filter can cause system pressure to build up, which can lead to fluid leaks.
*Transmission Burnout: If the filter is severely clogged, it can lead to catastrophic transmission failure.
