Many car owners may have experience in repairing and maintaining their cars. Only regular maintenance of the vehicle can ensure that it is always in good operating condition. But there is one place that you may not have thought of at all, and it is the car gearbox. The automobile gearbox is a very precise and extremely expensive part of the automobile. If you neglect its maintenance, once problems occur, it will be a major waste of time and money.

Why does the transmission need maintenance?

Many car owners ignore the importance of the transmission and do not pay attention to its existence during maintenance. In fact, the transmission is not completely sealed, and water and dust can enter through the air holes. Don't think that water won't get into the transmission if the water doesn't cover the wheels. As long as you drive in the rain, water from the road is likely to splash in. Once water enters the transmission, it will damage the performance of the transmission oil, reduce the performance of the transmission transmission, cause the clutch plate to slip or damage the transmission control system, etc., posing a hazard to driving safety. Once there is a problem with the gearbox, the repair cost ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. If the car owner suspects that the gearbox is flooded, he should check it as soon as possible. The sooner the repair is done, the lower the cost will be. Delaying the repair opportunity will result in expensive repair costs. Therefore, the transmission requires irregular maintenance.

How to maintain the transmission?

Since gearbox maintenance is a very important link, it is also a link that is easily overlooked. Once problems occur, the cost will be high. Therefore, it is important to learn how to maintain the transmission on a daily basis. Always check whether the transmission oil level is normal, understand the transmission oil replacement cycle, and know how to replace the transmission oil correctly. When checking the gearbox oil level, heat the gearbox oil to about 50 degrees, hold the gear lever in each gear for about 3 seconds, and shift into parking gear. At this time, the normal oil level of the dipstick should be between the highest and lowest lines. If it is too low, add oil of the same quality. The gearbox oil change interval is generally 2 years or 50,000 kilometers. The method for changing the gearbox oil is to change the oil dynamically, using special gearbox cleaning equipment. During the operation of the gearbox, the old oil is fully circulated and drained clean before adding new gearbox oil. Only by learning these things and paying attention to the maintenance of the gearbox can you avoid costly repairs and maintenance.
