I hear a lot about transmission problem, and common being Transmission slipping. May be people will laugh, but i dont know what transmission slipping means? Can anyone explain me about it? Just want to increase my knowledge about automobiles.

You can realize transmission slipping when the RPM (revolution per minute) goes above 3,500. Also when the coasting time of the vehicle is too much than normal, it means that the transmission starts slipping every moment when you try to change gear. Transmission slipping is also realized when acceleration takes too much time than normal.

I see. And transmission slipping is repairable or does it need the replacement of the complete transmission.

Depends. If the transmission slipping is because of the less fluid in the transmission, then it’s repairable but if the transmission is damaged, you cannot repair it and it needs strict replacement.

I have experienced this on an open road and it wasn't pleasant I can tell you that. The transmission simply goes in the middle and you can't speed up. It's really bad if you are trying to skip some vehicle.
