transmission stop engaging, after fuel stop, why
The transmission will not work without fluid.
No, thay have never made anything in a can that will fix something. If you add stop leak to your transmission it will mess up the seals and you will have to have the transmission rebuilt. It would be best to just fix the leak and a whole lot cheaper.
Why would you put power steering stop leak in an automatic transmission in the first place? You obviously don't know what you are doing. Take it to a professional!
Generally, no. However. Sometimes the transmission "stop leak" products may allow you to get just a little more service out of a transmission, depending on the type of leak. Most transmission leaks are internal, and cause shifting problems, primarily slipping. When a transmission leaks internally, the hydraulic pressure is reduced and clutches do not properly engage. Stop leak formulas can reduce those problems and at least temporarily, restore most of the internal hydraulic pressure; but the transmission will not last long. In the process of reducing the leak, the internal seals are softened, causing them to wear out quickly. If your transmission is experiencing leaking to the outside through a seal, the results are less promising. External seals, those which prevent fluid from escaping to the outside of the transmission, fail quickly when you use a stop leak formula, and they do not usually result in leak reduction. External seal leaks are usually caused by a split or crack in the seal and stop leak formulas do not help with that. If the leak is caused by a loose or poorly fitting gasket, stop leak formulas do not help at all.
look for the leak and repair it . I would do that before i thought about buying a new tranny.
It depends on the size of the leak and where it is. If it is a small leak around the rear seal of the transmission you might try transmission stop leak of some kind. You can purchase these at Wal-Mart or any auto parts store.
depends how bad it is. most stop leaks are nothing more than brake fluid. old mechanics trick. ngz
since clutches are used in manual transmissions, automatic trans vehicles have whats called a torque converter and is a type of fluid coupling. its between the engine and trans allow the vehicle to come to a full stop without stalling the motor.
Operation Method: Automatic transmissions use a hydraulic system to shift gears automatically based on vehicle speed and engine load, while manual transmissions require the driver to manually select gears using a clutch pedal and gear lever. Driving Experience: Automatic transmissions provide a more relaxed and convenient driving experience, particularly in stop-and-go traffic, whereas manual transmissions often offer more control and engagement for enthusiasts. Fuel Efficiency: Traditionally, manual transmissions were more fuel-efficient, but modern automatic transmissions, especially those with CVTs or dual-clutch systems, can now match or exceed the fuel efficiency of manuals. Maintenance: Automatic transmissions often require more complex maintenance and can be more expensive to repair due to their intricate components, while manual transmissions are generally simpler and easier to service. Performance: Automatic transmissions can shift gears faster than most drivers can manually, enhancing performance in high-speed or racing scenarios, while manual transmissions may provide a more connected driving feel for performance-oriented drivers.
Replace the gasket with a fiber gasket.
Try snugging the bolts. If that doesn't work, repkace the gasket.
