FAQs
A: If you’re experiencing issues with your transmission not engaging or the gears clutching properly, it may be due to several factors. Please follow these troubleshooting steps to diagnose the problem:
- Check your transmission fluid levels: Low fluid levels can lead to inadequate hydraulic pressure required to engage gears.
- Inspect your hydraulic pressures: If the fluid level is adequate, verify that the hydraulic system is generating enough pressure.
- For manual transmissions with mechanical shift: Check the gear linkages for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are correctly connected and functioning smoothly.
- For transmissions with electronic shift: Inspect the solenoid connections to ensure they are secure and corrosion-free. Verify that all gear selector linkages are moving into full detent positions. This ensures that the gears are properly selected.
If you have checked these areas and continue to have problems, or if you are not comfortable performing these checks yourself, please feel free to contact us and one of our service team will be happy to help assist you. Transmission issues can be complex and require specialised knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair properly.
A: Experiencing a slipping transmission can be concerning and typically indicate a maintenance issue or internal wear. To address this problem, please follow these steps:
- Check the transmission fluid level: A low fluid level can lead to insufficient hydraulic pressure, causing the transmission to slip. Ensure it’s filled to the manufacturer’s recommended level.
- Verify the type of transmission fluid used: Using the incorrect type of fluid can adversely affect transmission operation. Consult your vehicle’s manual for the correct specification.
- Sample the transmission fluid for debris: Look for signs of metal shavings or other contaminants in the fluid, which could indicate internal wear or damage.
- Change the transmission filter: A clogged filter can restrict fluid flow, leading to slipping. Replacing the filter may resolve this issue.
- Clean out the transmission suction screens: Similar to the filter, suction screens can become clogged and should be cleaned to ensure proper fluid intake.
If after performing these checks and maintenance steps the problem persists, it may be a sign of a more serious internal transmission issue. We recommend giving us a call so one of our engineers can carry out a comprehensive diagnosis and repair in this case.
Remember always to exercise caution when working with vehicle fluids and components. If you’re unsure about any of these steps, it’s best to seek professional assistance.
A: Discoloration and a burnt smell of transmission oil can indicate various issues depending on the type of vehicle or equipment you are using. Here’s what you should do based on your specific application:
For Marine Vessels:
- Check Ship’s Log: Look for any recorded instances of windmilling propellers, which can cause undue stress and overheating in the transmission, leading to oil degradation.
- Check Pressure: Verify that the transmission is operating within the correct hydraulic pressure range, as low pressure can lead to slippage and overheating.
- Check Cable Adjustments: Ensure that control cables are properly adjusted for correct operation as misadjustments can cause improper gear engagement and contribute to overheating.
For Off-Highway and Industrial Applications:
- Check for Worn-Out / Slipping Clutch Plates: Inspect the clutch plates for wear. Slipping clutch plates can cause the transmission to overheat, resulting in burnt and discoloured transmission fluid.
For both applications, it’s important to address any identified issues promptly to prevent further damage. If you are not equipped to perform these checks or if the problem persists after troubleshooting, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a certified technician who specialises in the type of vehicle or equipment you are operating. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to transmission issues can greatly extend the life of your equipment.
