How to Prevent the Mini Transmission Overheating in Phoenix? The main causes behind the premature failure of the transmission in the Mini are the heat. Thus, the excessive heats from the transmission is causing many transmission problems such as cracked gears, broken seals, delay the clutch engagements, transmission slipping, and damaged bearings. In this way, the service life of the transmission is reduced and wreaks the car every time while putting the gear. Moreover, the overheated transmission of the vehicle can be unnoticed when something is not broken in the vehicle. If you are living in a hot climate, then the heat is generated from the transmission and causes severe damages in Mini.

Causes behind the transmission overheating In general, the transmission is undergoing a lot of stress and abuse throughout the vehicle. Moreover, the abundant heat generated from the transmission and the elevated loads may fail the transmission due to the higher internal friction. If you left it untreated, it may fail the transmission completely. The following points define the causes behind transmission overheating in Mini.

Excessive load When the transmission is enduring a heavy load beyond its desired level, then it can cause overheating. Thus, the heavy loads on the transmission are generating more heat than the cooling system and make it overheats. When your Mini Copper encounters steep grades frequently, it will also produce a lot of heat.

Low fluid level However, the low fluid level in the vehicle is increasing the friction due to the inadequate lubrication and generates a lot of heat. Subsequently, it will reduce the effectiveness of the cooling system and unable to absorb the heat as it has a lower amount of fluid. When you notice a low amount of fluid, then inspect the vehicle for determining the leakages.

Failed pump Generally, the pump in the automatic transmission is providing the essential clutch pressure for transferring the torque to maintain the lubrication and cooling flow. When the pump is failed,
