- Incorrectly adjusted bands or linkage can cause slippage.
>Consult transmission service manual for correct adjustment.
3. Replace Burnt Clutch Plates:
- Worn or burnt clutch plates are frequent causes of slippage.
>Install replacement clutch packs with appropriate thickness and friction material as per transmission specifications.
4. Inspect/Replace Filter and Gaskets:
- A clogged filter can restrict fluid flow and cause slippage.
>Replace filter, gasket and pan during each fluid change.
5. Check / Adjust Throttle Linkage:
- Incorrect throttle adjustment might lead to transmission slipping.
> Ensure the throttle is opening fully and closing completely.
6. Check / Replace Modulator Valve:
- Faulty modulator valve can result in incorrect fluid pressure, causing slippage.
> Inspect valve for damage or leaks. Replace as needed.
7. Inspect / Clean Valves:
-Sticking valves can impede proper fluid flow.
> Inspect and clean or replace sticky valve bodies.
8. Pressure Gauge Test:
- Measure transmission fluid pressure with a pressure gauge.
>Check pressure at different points to identify issues.
9. Overhaul/ Rebuild:
- Major transmission issues including worn internal components may require a complete rebuild by qualified transmission professional.
10. Consult a Transmission Specialist:
