Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Trouble Shifting Gears
|
| |
|
Your vehicle may have a
Automatic gearbox problem if: |
| |
Your Automatic gearbox is not
going into, or staying in gear |
| |
Shifting is harsh or delayed
|
|
| |
This is a relatively
common problem, and it could be caused by any of
a number of possibilities: |
| |
An internal Automatic gearbox
repair may be necessary if parts within the Automatic gearbox
are worn or damaged |
| |
External controls for
the Automatic gearbox may simply need adjustment |
| |
External controls may need
replacement |
| |
Electrical components may need
adjustment or replacement |
| |
|
|
| |
| Because
today’s cars are controlled by computers, it
takes a Automatic gearbox expert to properly diagnose your problem.
These problems should not be ignored—the longer they continue, the
more damage may be caused. Before your vehicle becomes inoperative,
bring your car to us
for an External Diagnostic Service. Our comprehensive process
begins with a series of tests to narrow down exactly what your problem
might be. This examination will help determine if you just have an
external problem or if you possibly have another type of malfunction
or internal Automatic gearbox problem. The Free
External Diagnostic Service includes putting your car on a lift,
examining the external controls and fluids, and road testing your
vehicle. If you only have an external problem our
specialists can take care of the problem before it develops into
something bigger. If the certified technician uncovers a more serious
malfunction, then we will discuss with you and
advise the other services that may be necessary to get your
vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.

Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Automatic gearbox Seems To
Be Slipping |
| |
| If the
Automatic gearbox slips between gear changes, this is likely a
Automatic gearbox problem—a Automatic gearbox is designed to hold
effortlessly in each gear at predetermined speeds. If you move the
selector for your automatic Automatic gearbox to “Drive” and the
engine seems to be racing ahead faster than the Automatic gearbox,
that is another common symptom of a Automatic gearbox problem.
We can help determine which of the following
possibilities could be causing the problem: |
| |
An internal Automatic gearbox
repair may be necessary if parts within the Automatic gearbox
are worn or damaged |
| |
External controls for the
Automatic gearbox may simply need replacement or adjustment |
| |
Electrical controls or components
may need adjustment or replacement |
| |
The Automatic gearbox fluid level
may be low, or there is insufficient fluid pressure |
| |
|
|
 |
|
| Because today’s cars
and SUVs are controlled by computers, it takes an
expert to properly diagnose this problem. The right
diagnosis can save you time and potentially a substantial amount
of money. These problems require immediate attention—the longer
they continue, the more damage may be caused.

External Diagnostic Service. We shall help
get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible. |

Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Noise In The Automatic gearbox |
| |
| If you hear
noise coming from your vehicle’s Automatic gearbox, it may indicate
that Automatic gearbox parts are hitting together abnormally.
Normally-functioning Automatic gearboxs are virtually free of noise,
when clean Automatic gearbox fluid is lubricating the moving parts. |
| |
| Tracking down
the source of the noise can be complicated. Unlike many other repair
facilities, we are experts in all systems in
your car, and perform both external Automatic gearbox
diagnostics and a complete car check. |
| |
|
Your vehicle may very
likely have a Automatic gearbox problem if: |
|
There is buzzing or
any other noise from the Automatic gearbox |
| |
If your vehicle is a
four-wheel drive, there is a clicking noise in the Automatic
gearbox while it is in 4-wheel drive mode |
| |
There is a clunking
from under the vehicle when you change gears |
|
|
|
| |
|
Trained Automatic
gearbox technicians at MegaGear can help determine if it even is a
Automatic gearbox problem, and which of the following possibilities
could be causing the problem: |
| |
An internal Automatic gearbox
repair may be necessary if parts within the
Automatic gearbox are worn or damaged |
|
|
The Automatic gearbox fluid is
low, dirty, or the incorrect type |
| |
Electrical components or external
controls for the Automatic gearbox may simply need adjustment or
replacement |
| |
|
| |
. |
|
| |
|
Bring
your car, to
us the experts for an External Diagnostic
Service. We will help get to the
bottom of your problems and get your vehicle back on the road as soon
as possible. |

Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Automatic gearbox Fluid Leaking |
| |
|
A Automatic gearbox
fluid leak is not something to ignore. The Automatic gearbox fluid
serves several purposes of critical importance to the life of your
Automatic gearbox: |
| |
The fluid transfers power from the
engine to the Automatic gearbox, and provides the necessary
pressure to operate the Automatic gearbox. |
|
|
Automatic gearbox fluid also cools
and lubricates the Automatic gearbox |
| |
. |
|
| |
| As the amount
of Automatic gearbox fluid goes down, the ability to operate and keep
the Automatic gearbox cool is reduced. Overheating quickly causes
damage to a Automatic gearbox that may ultimately result in the need
for a costly repair. |
| |
| Leaks can occur from several
different areas external to the Automatic gearbox, or they may be
internal to the Automatic gearbox. The repairs required could be
relatively minor, or the signs could point to a major problem. It
takes an expert to tell. |
 |
| |
| Regardless of what the source of
the leak is, it requires immediate attention. The longer the leaks
continue, the more damage that may result. |

Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Vehicle Is Not Moving |
| |
|
 |
If your vehicle will not move, or
you are concerned about driving it any further, call
us. If your vehicle needs to be towed,
We can make the arrangements.
|
| |
| Once your vehicle is towed to
us, our expert technicians will do a
thorough check of the external controls/components to determine
why the vehicle is not moving. Our technicians check the Automatic
gearbox fluid level and condition. We’ll check the level and
condition of your transfer case and differential fluid (where
applicable). We’ll check under the hood and under the car to get
up close to all of the possible causes external to the Automatic
gearbox of the vehicle’s problem. |

Automatic gearbox Troubleshooting:
Check Engine Light |
| |
| The CHECK
ENGINE LIGHT on your instrument panel can light up for a wide variety
of reasons, often related to emissions, the engine, or the Automatic
gearbox. We urge you not to ignore the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT when it
illuminates, but to have your vehicle checked out. According to a
survey, more than one in ten drivers admit they drive with the CHECK
ENGINE LIGHT on. |
 |
|
| There could be a simple solution,
or it could be a warning sign of a much more severe condition.
We can diagnose whatever the problem may
be. |
