What is a transmission band?
A transmission band is a long, thin metal band that wraps around a set of gears in an automatic transmission. It is used to apply pressure to the gears and keep them from slipping, which is necessary for proper operation of the transmission.
What are the signs of a faulty transmission band?
Signs of a faulty transmission band can include transmission slipping or jerking, transmission fluid leaks, or decreased power when accelerating. Additionally, the transmission band can become noisy or vibrate when the vehicle is in motion.
Can a faulty transmission band cause further damage?
Yes, a faulty transmission band can cause further damage to the transmission if it is not replaced. Without the band, the gears can slip and overheat, leading to more serious damage.
