Yes, drops in speed can be a consequence of problems with the automatic transmission (automatic transmission). Here are some possible reasons:
*Clutch Slippage: Worn or dirty clutches can cause slippage, resulting in loss of power and reduced RPM.
* Torque Converter Problems: A faulty torque converter can cause slippage or lockup, which can also cause RPM drops.
*Low or contaminated transmission fluid: Low or contaminated transmission fluid can cause increased friction and heat transfer, causing slipping and stalling.
* Faulty solenoids: Solenoids are responsible for shifting gears in an automatic transmission. Their malfunction can lead to incorrect switching, which can cause drops in speed.
* Mechanical Problems: Serious mechanical problems, such as faulty gears or bearings, can also cause RPM drops.
It’s important to note that RPM dips can also be caused by other problems, such as faulty sensors, engine or wiring problems. It is necessary to carry out diagnostics to accurately determine the cause.
