Rear-wheel drive cars can be driven in snowy conditions, but it is necessary to drive slowly and pay attention to safety. Introduction to Rear-Wheel Drive Cars: The engine is located at the rear of the car, integrated with the differential and manual transmission. The rear wheels are the driving wheels, and the engine is placed behind the rear axle, which is known as rear-engine, rear-wheel drive. Advantages of Rear-Wheel Drive Cars: The advantages of rear-wheel drive cars include powerful performance. The rear-mounted engine is closest to the rear wheels, and the rear-wheel drive relies on the driveshaft driven by the engine. The front of the car is flexible, while the rear has significant weight, ensuring precise steering. During acceleration or uphill driving, the adhesion pressure on the driving wheels is greater, providing superior traction compared to front-wheel drive. Additionally, front-engine, rear-wheel drive models offer excellent handling stability and smooth driving, which helps extend the lifespan of the tires.

Why Are Bumpers Made of Plastic?

Reasons for plastic bumpers: 1. Safety considerations. Modern automotive safety standards not only protect vehicle occupants but also pedestrians in the event of a collision. Due to their material properties, plastic bumpers are more elastic and better at absorbing impact forces compared to metal. 2. Cost reduction. Since the vehicle body structure already uses high-strength materials, many components, including bumpers, are made of engineering plastics, which significantly reduces costs. 3. Metal is prone to rust. Metal easily rusts when exposed to water and air. As bumpers are frequently damaged during daily driving, metal bumpers are more susceptible to corrosion and rust, affecting their appearance.

What to Do When the Automatic Transmission Overheats?

Solutions for automatic transmission overheating: 1. When the automatic transmission overheats, stop driving and check the cause of the overheating. 2. Radiator blockage: If the transmission radiator is blocked, the transmission temperature will naturally not decrease. In this case, the radiator should be cleaned promptly. 3. Clutch slippage: When the clutch malfunctions, such as slipping or lack of lubrication, it generates additional heat, causing the transmission temperature to rise. In this situation, the clutch three-piece set should be replaced, or the coupling should be repaired. 4. Insufficient transmission fluid: If the transmission fluid is low, it should be replenished promptly.

How to Change Transmission Oil with a Flushing Machine?

Methods for changing transmission oil with a flushing machine: 1. The first method is similar to changing engine oil, where the transmission's drain plug is unscrewed to drain and refill the oil. 2. The second method involves directly removing the oil pan to drain and refill the oil. 3. The third method is currently more advanced, using a flushing machine to change automatic transmission oil. The first two methods are widely used today because they are cost-effective (requiring less oil) and do not require repair shops to purchase additional equipment. However, there are drawbacks: traditional gravity oil change methods cannot "completely" replace the transmission oil, while using a flushing machine to change automatic transmission oil effectively addresses this shortcoming.

What is the method for adjusting valve clearance?

Adjustment methods for valve clearance: 1. Cylinder-by-cylinder adjustment method: Rotate the crankshaft to the compression stroke of cylinder 1 and adjust the intake and exhaust valves of cylinder 1. Then turn the crankshaft to bring the next cylinder to the compression stroke in the firing order, and adjust the intake and exhaust valves of this cylinder. Repeat this process until all cylinders are adjusted one by one. 2. Two-step adjustment method: In production practice, the two-step adjustment method is commonly used to adjust valve clearance. When cylinder 1 is at top dead center of the compression stroke, adjust half of all valves. Then rotate the crankshaft one full turn to adjust the remaining half of the valves. The adjustment is completed in two steps. The specific steps for adjusting valve clearance are: First, loosen the lock nut and insert a feeler gauge with the specified clearance thickness between the valve stem end and the rocker arm. Simultaneously rotate the adjustment screw (clockwise rotation decreases valve clearance; counterclockwise rotation increases valve clearance) until slight resistance is felt when pulling the feeler gauge. Finally, secure the adjustment screw with the lock nut. Ensure the valve clearance does not change during locking. After adjustment, recheck with the feeler gauge once more. If there are any changes, readjust accordingly.
