Can an overheated engine damage a transmission?

Yes, an overheated engine can potentially damage a transmission. Excess heat can affect the Transmission Fluid, leading to decreased lubrication and increased friction, which can cause wear and tear on transmission components. Additionally, if the engine is overheating, it may create undue stress on the transmission as it struggles to operate efficiently under adverse conditions. Therefore, maintaining proper engine temperature is crucial for the health of both the engine and transmission.
