🔧 Yes — there are actionable preventive steps:
Step Description
✅ Inspect monthly Look for reddish o r brown stains under the vehicle
✅ Check axle areas Use a flashlight to detect early seal seepage near CV joints
✅ Use OEM-quality gaskets/seals Avoid cheap aftermarket rubber in Pakistani heat
✅ Flush and refill with OEM transmission fluid every 25,000–30,000 km Prevents sludge, keeps seals lubricated
✅ Torque pan bolts properly Always replace the gasket and follow torque specs
✅ Avoid overloading Reduces pressure on transmission and cooler lines
✅ Check after hill driving o r overheating Look for signs of leakage after long commercial runs
✅ Train drivers Make them aware of early symptoms like gear slippage o r smell
