So, first a little background about what an automatic transmission actually does. The engine works like the heart of the car, pumping power throughout the car into the transmission to get the car moving. The transmission is the part of the system that the makes the wheels turn and drive the car forward or backward. It has various gears which are designed to accelerate or decelerate your car. An automatic is special because it can change gears by itself. You don’t even have to do any “shifting” with a stick like in a manual car!
So, how does this all happen? This is where the piston that controls automatic transmission comes. The piston is the round metal piece that slides up and down inside the transmission. This causes your transmission to shift smoothly and quickly. In this case, the piston pushes ATF. This fluid is extremely vital since it acts as the control for how and when the gears will swap out. Without this fluid and the piston, the gears wouldn’t kick into place, and driving would be terribly bumpy and difficult.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at one of the most common issues that automatic transmission clutchs experience, and that’s wear and tear. That's because the piston travels a lot over time, which can damage it or even cause it to leak ATF. This will cause your car to have gear shifting issues in a perfect world. Instead, it might have pulled away suddenly or decelerated suddenly. Also, this can cause damage of all parts of the transmission system, which can be very catastrophic.
This is why you need to have your automatic transmission piston checked by a mechanic. A mechanic is trained to know what to look for. They will be able to inspect the piston and repair it if it requires replacing. To be safe, we advise having your transmission checkup between 30,000 to 60,000 miles at BOUNDFAS. This varies depending on the make and model of your car, so this is always a good question to ask.
It may surprise you to learn that automatic transmission pistons have evolved quite a bit in recent years. They been highly revisioned to become tougher, faster and more effective at their job. The pistons in some advanced automatic transmissions, for example, are often designed as special coatings. Such coatings help mitigate wear and extend the lifespan of the piston. Others have been designed to regulate the flow of the ATF with greater precision. This means that the transmission can now change gears faster than ever before with less of a noticeable shift.
This is an exciting time with technology continuing to improve its use in the outings, which we can definitely bet that there is more to be discovered with regards to the design and use of their piston. But no matter how sophisticated these components get, it will always be vitally important to maintain them well for optimal performance.
