An auto shifting gear transmission engine is
generally referred as Automated Transmitted (AT) Engine. The gear ratios are
changed automatically while the vehicle is in moving condition. It frees the
driver from the responsibility of shifting gear manually. The AT vehicles are
also having the same internal combustion engine.
The Automatic transmissions engine is generally produced a huge rotational speed in
comparison to the manual geared engine and generate a very high speed. The AT
engine don’t have any clutch plate and a gear shifting mechanism. The torque
converter is doing the job of clutch plate in AT.
The Automatic Transmissions vehicles are very costly to purchase on a regular interval.
But, there are few tips if follows can increase the longevity of the vehicle.
The observation of the expert reveals that without proper care a transmission
engine damaged within 30,000 miles of running whereas a proper care can extend
this period up to 1,00,000 mile.
The Automatic Transmissions vehicle required serviced in regular interval. There is a
need for a change of engine oil every 20,000 miles running for the long lasting
vehicle. The complete flush of the torque converter, cooler etc should do in
every 40,000 miles of running and band adjustment must do after 60,000 miles of
running.
In addition to the above service work, the Automatic Transmissions vehicle
required upgrading of fluid. It is recommended to use synthetic fluids compare
to petroleum fluids as synthetic fluid ensure more engine life than petroleum.
The wrong transmission fluid can easily damage the engine within a second.
And the last but not the least is the
transmission cooler. The transmission engine damaged quickly if heated in high
temperature for a long time. So the transmission cooler should use of good
quality unless anything more than 200 degree Celsius temperature will
proportionately decrease the lifespan of the AT. The 20 degrees above 200 decrease the 50%
lifespan of the engine.
