Operation of automatic transmission in winter conditions.

Most automatic transmission fails in the winter, it is associated with several reasons. The first reason is the negative ambient temperature that adversely affects the automatic transmission resources during the start of the auto movement after starting the engine in the cold, the vehicle's second-slip of the vehicle on the ice during the start of the movement or slip of the wheels on the spot when the car is stuck.

During the preparation of the car to winter operation, and it is mainly to replace the wheels, oil in the engine and filter, it is worth preparating for winter and your automatic. If planned replacement of the hydraulic fluid and filter in the automatic box is suitable, then you should not wait for the onset of cold weather, it is better to change everything in advance.

What happens in winter? During the operation of the automatic transmission during the year, the hydraulic fluid (ATF) loses its operating properties, such as: oxidation resistance, constant viscosity at different temperatures, resistance to foaming, and a number of others, (ATF) ages, and ages faster In the summer, - during the operation of the automaton in + 30 degrees Celsius and above, in urban conditions of movement, with frequent stops on traffic lights, but it's not worth talking about traffic jams. Also, the hydraulic fluid is polluted by the products of the wear of friction and steel disks, the automatic transmission bushings, respectively, most of this wear remain in the automatic transmission filter and on magnets in the pallet, the smallest suspension accumulates in the automatic transmission control unit. FROM
The onset of cold weather begins to form condensate, and not only in the carburetor, but also in the automatic transmission case, something evaporates, and something remains in the automatic transmission filter.
We start the car in -20 or in -30, heating the engine, and we never run automatic transmission on a parking or neutral, and at this time the automatic transmission filter is already successfully frozen per night, ATF is thick, viscous, pressure is not enough catastrophically and bushings work in mode Oil starvation, a few minutes while we warm up the engine. We begin to touch, the automatic transmission switches to 2.3 transmission, and the hydraulic fluid has not started up to the operating temperature, the automatic transmission filter is dirty, scored wear products, the outlet pressure is not enough, the friction discs begin to burn pressure. . . The automatic transmission resource is large, but we successfully reduce it to 50,000 km. Another option: ATF thick, the pressure on the filter is large, pushing the filter, pulls out a piece of the filter element, the bypass valve and reduction will not cope,
Frozen and jammed, and the pressure begins to squeeze all gaskets, rubber seals and rings.

If the hydraulic liquid with the filter in an automatic box did not change more than 30,000 km of the car, and the cold winter comes, I recommend replacing the fillet of the automatic transmission and ATF !!! If ATF has a brown, dark, black color, and can intersecting black, metal, aluminum particles, change in independence from the car run, however, if not too late.

If we get a car in the cold, let me warm up the engine, then begin to warm the automatic transmission. We click on the brake pedal and the gear shift selection lever set to "l" (you can finally and on "D" or "R"). If the engine "stood", let me warm up the engine. After turning on the transfer, vibration appears, the engine can "Circle", this is due to the intensive friction of the hydraulic fluid in the automatic transformer automatic transformer due to the fact that the pump wheel rotates, and the turbine wheel is slow down until you turn off the transmission or do not omit Foot from the brakes, friction of hydraulic fluid arises between pumping and turbine wheels, ATF molecules begin to warm up intensively. The automatic transmission pump constantly focuses the hydrotransformer, and the ATF falls into the DCP pallet occurs from the hydrotransformer. How much to keep your leg on the brake? It all depends on the ambient temperature, and the ATF volume in the automatic transmission. The colder and more automatic transmission, the longer, when - 20
Degrees Celsius warming up 5-8 minutes.

Movement: - We put the lever to select the transmission ranges to "L" and without pressing more than 1/3 of the accelerator pedal (gas) we pass 50-100 meters, then we translate the lever in 2, then 3 and "D". For this short time, the hydraulic fluid will have time to make several passes on automatic transmission, warm will fall into the inclusion coupling, and since the speed is small, the engine speed is small, then the switching process will be passed in gentle, optimal mode, without wear of the friction elements.

If you have an electronically hydraulic control system, then most likely, you have an automatic transmission program in winter. There are buttons, as a rule, located next to the lever for selecting the gear shift ranges or on the instrument shield. Buttons designations for the winter program: "Winter", "W", "Snow", "*", "Hold". When you press this button, the automatic transmission starts to work according to the algorithm to eliminate the wheel slip when starting from the vehicle, in other words, the operation of 1 transmission is excluded at all and the movement of the car begins immediately with 2 transmissions, and switching gears to the highest level occurs with the minimum engine crankshaft turns. All loads during the start of movement takes on a torque converter, which smoothes, absorbs all the jerks, the hydraulic liquid of the automatic transmission is heated stronger than in the usual mode of movement, so it is impossible to use the winter program (the child pressed the button, and to the mother... , For example, for example, not only the button pressed the child, the lever managed to pull while driving).

Tries to fans to put pressure on the sneaker. Do not press the accelerator pedal sharply (gas) if the road coating is not uniform in winter, for example, has a dry asphalt portion in front of the areas covered with ice. Try to overcome this site without acceleration. The fact is that the wheels of your car, getting to the ice plot, can slip on the spot, the machine switches to increased gear, and at that time, the wheels fall on dry asphalt, the machine is switched sharply to lower gear, and so maybe not one Once for a short period of time, while the transmission is experiencing huge loads. As a result, it can break the brake tape into the automatic transmission and you will disappear 2-4 transmission. This is primarily to all automatic transmissions Mitsubisi, Hyundai, as well as to some Chrysler and Ford machines, for example, CD4E on Mondeo, it is placed on Mazda 626 -94Up.

When the car is stuck. Before you put the gear sodder, the gear shift selection lever is set to "1" or "L", "R" I do not recommend because of a larger gear ratio. Now you can try to leave, but the accelerator pedal (gas) is pressed no more than 1/3 of the whole. If you try to leave the range of "D" when the car is stuck and put pressure on the pedal that there are strength, then the following happens. One wheel, as a rule, is blocked, the second rotates faster and faster, the automatic transmission switches to 2 - 3 - 4 transmission, and the load is still large. Try on a simple mechanic to leave the swamp on 4 transmission, what will happen?
That's right, at best, grip will burn, in the worst collapsed and the basket. Similarly, frictional discs burnt on the machine, it is not easy to burn, but they are charged with each other with a support disk, the temperature in the area of \u200b\u200btheir contact, in such cases there was 600 degrees Celsius. What do you think, what will happen to hydraulic fluid in the machine? Fast aging of her times, can knock out the automatic transmission two! The load on the differential and the main gearbox is also large, it is easy to plant them, about the planetary series I am generally silent, especially when the engine is 3,5L and further, so you can click that the slots on the planetary just blows, beauty, min $ 350. . . Zeesier + work.
