Here are some steps you can take to minimize heat and extend the lifespan of your transmission.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your transmission, there are numerous factors that might be responsible for the problem.
- Try to stay away from rapid acceleration at the start, as it generates excessive friction and heat within the transmission system. Instead, gently apply pressure on the gas pedal for longer-lasting performance of your transmission.
- Enhance the performance of your transmission by minimizing friction and wear that occur during shifting. Familiarize yourself with the regular shifting patterns of your transmission. Just before a shift, ease off on the gas slightly to alleviate the strain on the internal transmission components and significantly reduce friction during the shift.
- Keep your cooling systemKeeping your car's cooling system in good condition is crucial not only for the engine but also for the transmission. Heat can cause significant damage to the transmission even before the engine starts to overheat. That's why it's important to regularly service the cooling system to ensure that both the transmission and the engine stay cool and extend their lifespan.
- Include an additional transmission cooler to your vehicle if you frequently drive in scorching weather conditions or often carry heavy loads. This supplementary transmission cooler effectively minimizes heat and significantly prolongs the lifespan of your transmission.
