Of all existing types of automatic transmission, the hydraulic automatic transmission in the classic automatic transmission (AKP) is the most reliable. Vadim Strelbitsky, director of the mechanical repair department of Avilon Kia, told socialbites.ca.
“The hydraulic automatic is the most comfortable to drive as it has smooth gear shifting. This reduces the risk of wear and tear on the box itself. In addition, the design of planetary automatic transmissions is relatively simple compared to other types of automatic transmissions, which makes them less susceptible to malfunctions and therefore more reliable,” said the expert.
A hydraulic automatic transmission also has fewer moving parts than other types of automatic transmissions, which also reduces the likelihood of wear and transmission failure.
As for robotic gearboxes and shifters, such automatic transmissions have their own advantages. In particular, “robots” and CVTs are more compact than conventional automatic transmissions. Additionally, the expert stated that such transmissions can provide better fuel economy compared to hydraulic automatic transmission.
But Strelbitsky also explained that, for example, “robots” may have problems with the smoothness of shifting and clutch durability, and CVTs are sensitive to increased loads and may require more frequent maintenance.

Neutral in an automatic transmission (AT) serves as a kind of insurance that protects the driver from accidental gear shifting. In this respect reports “Prime”, referring to auto expert Yegor Vasiliev.
“The logic of gearboxes must prevent accidental switching between reverse and forward gears. In classic slot machines, this can be done by skipping “neutral”. In this case, mechanical protection comes into play, preventing damage to the expensive unit. Vasiliev said that with more modern boxes that implement the Shift by Wire control mode, it will no longer be possible to switch by bypassing “neutral”.
In addition, according to the expert, the “neutral” mode can also be used to tow a car over short distances or in emergency situations.
Before that, it was known that among the automatic transmission components that fail more often, you can name, for example, the torque converter, oil pump, valve body and cable drive. Some automatic transmission malfunctions are usually caused by untimely maintenance, aggressive driving style, overheating of the gearbox due to slipping or sports mode, and the use of low-quality oil.
The average cost of repairing a car automatic transmission in Russia varies depending on the model and brand of the car, the type of automatic transmission and the complexity of the repair. Partial repairs (replacement of clutches, torque converter or valve body) can cost on average from 50 to 150 thousand rubles. A major overhaul with the replacement of all major components can cost from 150 to 300 thousand rubles. The cost of a complete automatic transmission replacement starts from 200-250 thousand rubles on average.
