At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed a Transmission Overheating Repair for a Range Rover Evoque in Dubai. Transmission overheating can cause serious damage to the vehicle’s transmission system if not addressed promptly. Overheated transmissions can result in slipping gears, rough shifting, and potential transmission failure. Our expert technicians diagnosed the issue and performed the necessary repairs to restore proper cooling and optimal performance of the transmission.
Issues Found During Transmission Overheating Repair:
- Low or Contaminated Transmission Fluid: One of the primary causes of transmission overheating was low or contaminated transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is responsible for lubricating and cooling the components of the transmission. If the fluid is low, old, or contaminated, it can’t effectively cool the transmission, leading to overheating.
Solution:
We drained the old transmission fluid and replaced it with high-quality OEM fluid. This ensured that the transmission was properly lubricated and cooled, reducing the risk of overheating and restoring smooth operation. - Faulty Transmission Cooler: The transmission cooler is responsible for reducing the heat generated by the transmission. In this case, the cooler was found to be clogged or damaged, causing it to fail in regulating the temperature of the transmission fluid.
Solution:
We inspected the transmission cooler and found it to be compromised. After cleaning and repairing the cooler, we ensured it was functioning properly, which allowed for better heat dissipation and reduced transmission temperatures. - Failed Transmission Pump: The transmission pump is responsible for circulating fluid through the transmission, ensuring it stays cool. A malfunctioning or failed pump can cause insufficient fluid circulation, leading to overheating.
Solution:
After confirming the pump was malfunctioning, we replaced it with a new OEM part. This ensured optimal fluid circulation, preventing overheating and improving transmission performance. - External Leaks in the Transmission System: Leaks in the transmission lines, seals, or gaskets can lead to fluid loss, which causes low fluid levels and, consequently, overheating. The Evoque had several small but significant fluid leaks that were contributing to the overheating issue.
Solution:
We identified and repaired the fluid leaks in the transmission system, replacing any damaged seals, gaskets, or lines to ensure there was no further fluid loss. This helped maintain proper fluid levels and prevented overheating. - Excessive Driving Under Heavy Loads or Extreme Conditions: Consistent driving under heavy loads or extreme conditions, such as towing, can place excessive strain on the transmission and cause it to overheat, especially if it’s not properly maintained.
Solution:
We advised the owner on the importance of periodic transmission maintenance, including fluid changes and inspections, to ensure the vehicle can handle heavy loads without overheating. Regular maintenance helps prevent future transmission problems.
