Transmission Repair and Maintenance
The transmission is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the drive wheels, all that power to effectively translate into movement. It is a complex system that is subject to a lot of wear and tear, so regular maintenance is essential to keep it running smoothly.
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your transmission is to have the fluid and filter changed on a regular basis. This will help to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated and ensure that the transmission and relevant components are properly lubricated.
Signs of Transmission Issues
While the symptoms of a faulty transmission can be shared by multiple other components, it’s still important not to overlook them. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it's important to have your transmission checked as soon as possible:
- Constant overheating
- Slow shifting or the inability to shift
- Problems staying in gear
- Neutral behaviour while in gear
- Presence of fluid puddles under the vehicle. If the fluid is red, then it’s definitely from the transmission
- Grinding or whining noises
Clutch Repair and Maintenance
The clutch is another important component of a heavy-duty diesel truck, as it allows the driver to smoothly transition between gears by transmitting torque from the engine to the transmission. Like the transmission, it is subject to a lot of wear and tear and requires regular maintenance to keep it functioning properly.
Clutch Maintenance
To keep your clutch in good condition, it's important to have the following done on a regular basis alongside consistent maintenance routines:
- Adjust the clutch pedal
- Inspect the clutch disc for wear
- Inspect the pressure plate for warping
- Inspect the throw-out bearing for wear
- Re-fill the clutch master cylinder and ensure things are flowing properly
Signs of Clutch Issues
Similar to the transmission, certain symptoms can be shared by other components. Nevertheless, if you notice any of the following symptoms, it's important to have your clutch checked as soon as possible:
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Grinding or whining noises
- Burning smell
- Clutch pedal feels "spongy" or loose
