Owners of diesel or gasoline cars with automatic transmissions must know this.

This is why automatic cars should not be towed when they break down. As reported by Otoseken.id, it turns out that using a tow truck has a latent danger of damaging the automatic car's transmission gearbox. According to experts, this can cause damage to the automatic car's transmission gearbox if you use a tow truck. "If it breaks down or has an engine problem, the car is towed with the engine off," said Hermas Efendi Prabowo, owner of the Worner Matic specialist workshop.

"If the engine is off, it means there is no transmission oil pressure produced," he continued.

On the other hand, the gearbox components continue to move when the drive wheels are rolling. Because the drive wheels are connected to the drive shaft that moves the components inside the gearbox. "There is still a rotating gear ratio rubbing even though the transmission is in neutral and disengaged," explained Hermas.
