An automatic transmission slipping means that the transmission is slipping without creating enough traction to accelerate or maintain speed. This may be manifested by the following symptoms:
* The vehicle does not accelerate properly or feels sluggish.
* When you press the gas pedal, the engine speed increases, but the speed does not increase.
* Gear changes may be rough or delayed.
* You can smell burnt oil.
* The fluid state of the transmission changes (eg, cloudy color).
Reasons for automatic transmission slipping:
*Low transmission fluid: Insufficient fluid can cause loss of pressure and slipping.
* Contaminated transmission fluid: Dirty or old fluid may contain particles that prevent the transmission from operating properly.
*Friction Disc Wear: The friction discs in a transmission wear out over time, reducing their ability to transmit power.
* Torque converter problems: The torque converter transfers power from the engine to the transmission. If it is faulty, it can lead to slipping.
* Electrical Problems: Electrical problems in the transmission control module (TCM) or shift solenoids can cause slipping.
Consequences of automatic transmission slipping:
* Damage to the gearbox.
* Increased fuel consumption.
* Reduced vehicle performance.
What to do if the automatic transmission is slipping:
* Check the level and condition of the transmission fluid.
*Consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
* Do not continue driving if the transmission is slipping, as this may cause serious problems.
