Can an Automatic Transmission Car Stall When Starting?
1 Answers
It is indeed possible to stall. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes over 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it tends to be. 2. Driving Tips: For manual transmission cars, it is advisable to shift gears at higher RPMs. Engines are designed to operate optimally at higher RPMs, with parameters such as dynamic balance and rotational inertia calibrated for high-speed operation. If an engine runs for prolonged periods at non-optimal RPMs, internal components experience increased load and wear, leading to frequent vibrations and knocking, which can shorten the engine's lifespan. Shifting at 3000 RPM ensures that the engine operates within a healthy RPM range, typically around 2300 RPM after shifting.
