What is a Transmission Sump Gasket and What Does it do? In this article, we will discuss the five most important functions of a transmission control module. This helps to keep the transmission pan tightly sealed so that the inside can not leak out. This is especially important since the transmission fluid is responsible for keeping everything running smoothly.
The transmission sump gasket sits in between two parts; the transmission pan and the transmission case. It's made from rubber or cork, for example. These are special materials, in how well they can tolerate heat and pressure. What this means is that the gasket stays intact and seals the deal, even when the car is up and running and things are getting nice and toasty.
The transmission valve body keeps the transmission fluid safely contained within the unit. This fluid is absolutely critical, as it lubricates all of the transmission's moving parts. The lubricated portions allow parts to be in motion without harming each other. If the gasket is not functioning properly, the liquid could spill out. It can do serious damage to the transmission itself as well as estranged repairs that can get very expensive, costing a lot of money.
Negligent maintenance: Every car needs to be taken care of. And if an automobile owner neglects to maintain his or her car — such as changing the transmission fluid when it’s due — the gasket is going to suffer. As time passes, old fluid can degrade and fail to protect the gasket as needed.
Fluid Leaks from the Transmission: One of the first places to see trouble is if you notice any leaking fluid under the vehicle or on or around the transmission pan. Another point that is gaining points, if you notice a puddle of red or brown fluid, it could transmission fluid, and you should look at the gasket.
Transmission Overheating If the transmission sump gaskets are leaking, the transmission may overheat. This is because it does not have enough fluid to keep the everything cool. If you see the temperature gauge climbing or smell something cooking, stop driving immediately and have a mechanic inspect it.
Collect Your Tools: The first thing you will need to do is to gather all the tools that you will need. This means a jack, jack stands, a socket set, a torque wrench, a scraper, a pan to catch the fluid, and a new transmission sump gasket. As they say, 'Be prepared.' Having everything is going to make this job easier.”
