Transmission issues can easily spoil your day if you don't fix them immediately. Some of the most widespread warning signs of transmission failure are listed below. When your semi truck is running into transmission issues in Springfield, Arkansas, give Custom T Repair a call.

Low Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid provides the lubrication that is necessary for all of the moving parts of the transmission. When the fluid level declines, there is a greater chance of the gearbox overheating, gear slippage, and trouble shifting gears. If your transmission fluid was just topped off but still appears low, there may be a leak. Leaks can be caused by faulty seals, but as soon as you suspect a problem, send your semi to a reputable repair facility.

Torque Converter Issues

In order for automatic transmissions to move, the power source and the load must be connected by a torque converter. Transmission damage could happen if the torque converter fails. Damages to torque converters commonly occur when they overheat, break needle bearings, or even have deformed blades. You will be able to hear your torque converter grinding if your transmission breaks down.

Poor Clutch Practices

In manual trucks, the clutch is used to control the transmission. It will eventually be necessary to repair and replace the clutch once it wears out. To extend the lifespan of your clutch for as long as possible, avoid riding the clutch or resting your foot on the clutch pedal.
