You cannot start in third gear. Here are some related introductions about starting a car: Precautions for starting: Get in the car, fasten the seat belt, and adjust the seat. Quickly press the clutch to the bottom and shift into first gear. Turn on the left turn signal, check the surroundings (both side mirrors), and release the handbrake. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged position, pause slightly, then slowly lift the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start the car smoothly. Driving precautions: Do not keep the clutch in a semi-engaged state for a long time. Some drivers are accustomed to keeping their left foot on the clutch while driving, thinking it provides better control over the vehicle. However, this practice causes significant damage to the clutch plate. Especially when driving at high speeds, prolonged semi-engaged state will wear out the clutch plate rapidly.

How Often Should the Honda Fit Transmission Fluid Be Changed?

According to the Honda Fit owner's manual, the transmission fluid should be changed every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. Additional information about transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the transmission system, ensuring normal operation and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Prolonged high-speed operation causes wear on transmission gears and generates a significant amount of metal particles and other impurities. Failure to change the fluid in a timely manner can lead to abnormal gear wear and noise, and may even result in transmission failure or complete breakdown. The benefits of using genuine transmission fluid include: 1. Extending the transmission's service life; 2. Ensuring optimal transmission performance; 3. Minimizing the probability of transmission failures.

How to Determine if a Thrust Bearing is Faulty?

When the shock absorber thrust bearing is severely worn and damaged, the symptoms are as follows: 1. Abnormal noises will occur when the vehicle's shock absorber is operating. 2. The vehicle's steering may exhibit slight deviation, difficulty returning to center, and weak return force. 3. With a damaged thrust bearing, the shock absorber will transmit all absorbed vibrations and impacts directly from the chassis to the passenger compartment, resulting in increased noise. Here is relevant information about thrust bearings: 1. The correct name for a thrust bearing should be pressure bearing, which consists of two parts: the pressure top rubber and the pressure bearing. 2. The thrust bearing is located at the top of the shock absorber, between the spring and the shock absorber. It must withstand vertical pressure while allowing free rotation. 3. The reason for thrust bearing failure is that most current designs use ball thrust bearings. Ball thrust bearings have a disadvantage: they can withstand large vertical forces but cannot handle horizontal forces. When turning the steering wheel while stationary, friction between the tires and the ground creates a horizontal torque on the tires. This torque causes the axle supporting the tires to tilt. The tilting force acts on the thrust bearing, subjecting it to horizontal forces. Over time, this causes deformation of the contact surfaces between the balls and the bearing cage.
