GENERAL INFORMATION
Prevention

Because the transmission represents very difficult unit therefore it is difficult to diagnose and eliminate malfunction in a transmission. Do not remove a transmission from the car for repair before malfunction as the majority of tests demands that the transmission was in the car will not be professionally revealed.

Leakages of liquid

• Used transmission liquid of usually dark color therefore do not mix leakage of the engine oil which drops can get on a transmission with transmission liquid.
• For definition of a source of leakage of transmission liquid clear a transmission case of pollution, using special means or steam. Make a control trip on small distance on small speed so that in the presence of leaks from a transmission the stream of air did not take down transmission liquid from a leak place. Lift the car or establish it over a viewing hole and define a leak place. The most probable places of leakages of liquid:
and – an oil pan;
b–a pipe for щупа measurements of level of transmission liquid;
with – places of connection of pipes from the heat exchanger.

If transmission liquid has brown color or smells as ashes

• Transmission work with level of transmission liquid. Thus it is necessary to replace transmission liquid.

Indistinct choice of transfers

• Usually wrong choice of transfers is connected with the wrong adjustment of a cable of a choice of transfers. Also indistinct choice of transfers can be connected and with other problems:
and – start of the engine is made not in the position PARK or NEUTRAL of the lever of a choice of transfers,
b–on the display panel the established transfer is incorrectly highlighted;
with – movement of the car can occur in the position PARK or NEUTRAL of the lever of a choice of transfers;
d–unsystematic gear shifting.

The automatic transmission is not switched to lower of transfers at the pedal of an accelerator (KICK DOWN) pressed against the stop

• Level of transmission liquid in a transmission is lower than norm.
• The switching cable is incorrectly adjusted.

The engine is not started at installation of the lever of a choice of transfers to any situation or started in other provisions, except PARK or NEUTRAL

• Position of the switch of blocking of a starter is incorrectly adjusted.
• The switching cable is incorrectly adjusted.
