The Forensic expert kollegium conducts automatic transmission expertise in both judicial and pre-trial proceedings.

During automatic transmission expertise, components and assemblies are examined to determine their technical condition and operational capability.

Automatic transmission expertise is required in the event of a dispute between a vehicle owner and a repair organization or supplier.

It should be noted that this type of expertise involves performing a large volume of examinations, which vary in scope in each specific case. However, based on the practice of the Forensic expert kollegium, a certain algorithm of expert actions can be identified:

1. familiarization with the case materials and determination of the subject matter of the expertise;
2. study of the necessary technical literature;
3. preparation by the expert of an expertise procedure algorithm;
4. determination of the cost of the expertise;
5. inspection of the object of the expertise;
6. determination of defects present in the object of the expertise;
7. determination by the expert of the scope of further examinations.

In order to provide an unambiguous conclusion in this expertise, the experts of the Forensic expert kollegium conduct the full scope of necessary examinations.

Within the framework of automatic transmission expertise, the following expert tasks may be addressed:

1. To determine the cause of transmission failure (to identify the external manifestation of the defects that have occurred).

During the expertise, the following defects are identified:

• malfunction of gear-shift operating modes;
• components and assemblies of inadequate quality;
• incorrect positioning of a component within an assembly;
• improper matching of components with one another.

2. To identify the cause of the malfunction and establish a cause-and-effect relationship with the actions of specific persons (repair organization, consumer, supplier).

The main causes of malfunctions in automatic transmissions are:

• Oil replacement performed with violations (deviations). Oil replacement is not a simple procedure and has its own specific features. Therefore, when consumers need to replace transmission oil, they should contact specialized service stations equipped with the necessary equipment and staffed by specialists in this field. However, such work is often carried out at service stations that provide general vehicle maintenance and are not specialized. In some cases, service station employees resort to disassembling the transmission, which, if performed improperly, may subsequently necessitate repairs.
• Improperly performed repair. During the repair, not all components were replaced, or they were installed incorrectly.
• Violation of operating rules by the user.
