Regular inspection of automotive gears is an important step in ensuring the normal operation of the transmission system and extending the lifespan of the gears. Here are some steps and suggestions for regular inspection of automotive gears:

1. Check the gear oil

Oil level check: Regularly check the oil level in the gearbox to ensure that the oil level is within the normal range.

Oil quality inspection: Check the cleanliness and quality of gear oil to see if there is any deterioration, water or impurities mixed in.

2. Check the sealing of the gearbox

Sealing status: Check whether there are signs of aging, wear, or leakage on the sealing gasket and sealing ring of the gearbox.

Fastener inspection: Check if the fasteners of the gearbox are loose and tighten them if necessary.

3. Check the inside of the gearbox

Noise and vibration: Pay attention to the noise and vibration of the gearbox during operation. Abnormal noise or vibration may be a sign of gear damage.

Gear wear: If possible, check the wear condition of the gear, such as whether there are scratches, pitting or wear on the tooth surface.

4. Check the cooling system

Cooling system: If the gearbox has a cooling system, check the operating status of the cooling system to ensure good cooling effect.

5. Check the relevant components

Bearings: Check the bearings inside the gearbox for signs of wear or damage.

Synchronizer: For manual transmissions, check the wear of the synchronizer.

6. Recording and maintenance

Record inspection results: Record the inspection results for tracking the status and performance of the gearbox.

Planned maintenance: Based on the inspection results, develop a maintenance plan that includes replacing gear oil, seals, or other components.

7. Professional services

Regular maintenance: Regularly send the vehicle to a professional repair shop for maintenance, and have professional personnel inspect and maintain the gearbox.

Timely replacement: If gear damage or severe wear is found, it should be replaced promptly to avoid further damage.

Through regular inspection and maintenance, problems with the gearbox can be detected and resolved in a timely manner, ensuring that the gears are in good operating condition, extending their service life, and ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle.
