Possible causes of vibration when engaging reverse gear in a Getz automatic transmission:
1. Low ATF level: Insufficient ATF level can cause clutch slippage and vibration. Check the fluid level and add if necessary.
2. Contaminated or old ATF: Old or contaminated ATF may lose its lubricating properties and cause vibration. It is recommended to change ATF every 60,000-100,000 km or according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Malfunction of automatic transmission solenoids: Solenoids control gear shifting and fluid pressure in the automatic transmission. Faulty solenoids can cause improper shifting and vibration.
4. Torque Converter Problems: The torque converter transmits torque from the engine to the transmission. Torque converter problems, such as worn or damaged lockup clutch, can cause vibration.
5. Malfunction of clutches: Clutches in automatic transmissions ensure smooth gear shifting. Worn or worn clutches can slip and cause vibration.
6. Brake band failure: The brake band holds the planetary gear set in position. A faulty or worn brake band can cause vibration when engaging reverse gear.
7. Problems with the differential or axle shafts: Problems with the differential or axle shafts can cause vibration, especially when engaging reverse gear.
Additional tips:
* Try engaging reverse gear on a flat surface with the handbrake applied. This will help reduce the load on the automatic transmission and identify potential problems.
* Inspect the transmission and suspension for leaks or damage.
*Consult a qualified mechanic if the vibration persists or worsens, as this may indicate a serious problem with the automatic transmission.
