General information about automatic transmission

This Part of the Chapter is devoted to automatic transmission.

Due to the complexity of the AT design, the lack of free sale of replaceable internal components, and the need to use special equipment, the compilers of this Guide do not recommend car owners to overhaul the transmission on their own. In this Chapter, only the procedures for diagnosing general AT failures, its current maintenance, adjustments, removal and installation are considered.

Sometimes, in the event of a serious breakdown, it is wiser and easier to replace the transmission than to spend time and money on rebuilding a failed assembly. Regardless of the chosen method of introducing a failed AT into operation, the independent implementation of its removal and installation will help to significantly reduce costs (first make sure that the transmission really needs refurbishment).
