You should not continue driving the car after the transmission valve body is damaged. Here are more related details: Cause Analysis: 1. A damaged transmission valve body may experience jamming. If leakage occurs, it can cause gear shift shocks during the transmission's shifting process, significantly reducing shifting efficiency and also leading to a decrease in the car's power. 2. The transmission valve body is a hydraulic control unit. During operation, the spools on the valve body move left and right to change the direction and pressure of the hydraulic oil, enabling the transmission to shift automatically. If the valve body is damaged, jamming or leakage can cause gear shift shocks. It's worth noting that the spools on the valve body are controlled by the electronic control unit via solenoid valves. 3. Damage to the transmission valve body is more common in automatic transmissions. Automatic transmissions, as opposed to manual transmissions, allow the car to shift gears automatically based on driving speed and engine RPM. Currently, the most common types of automatic transmissions used in cars are hydraulic automatic transmissions (AT), continuously variable transmissions (CVT), automated manual transmissions (AMT), and dual-clutch transmissions.

What does 1.5t mean?

1.5t refers to a car's displacement being 1.5 liters, indicating that the car's engine is turbocharged. A turbocharged engine is one that relies on a turbocharger to increase the engine's air intake. The turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that uses the exhaust gases from the engine as its power source. A turbocharged engine can significantly increase the engine's power and torque without increasing the engine's displacement. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum output power can increase by approximately 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with a turbocharger.

How many kilometers does a Harley 750 need maintenance?

The Harley 750 motorcycle requires its first maintenance after riding 1600 kilometers, and then every 8000 kilometers thereafter. Spark plug maintenance: The spark plug is a key component of a motorcycle engine. The normal combustion of the air-fuel mixture is crucial for the engine's proper operation. First, the type of spark plug used varies with each engine, mainly differing in heat range, thread size, etc., so it's essential to use the specified model of spark plug. Air filter maintenance: The air filter is the respiratory system of the motorcycle. If the air filter is clogged with dust, the intake resistance will increase, causing the engine's power output to decrease, fuel consumption to rise, and making the engine harder to start and prone to stalling. More seriously, dust entering the cylinder can accelerate wear on engine components. Oil filter maintenance: During the lubrication process, the oil pump draws oil from the sump, first pressurizing it into the oil filter for purification. The filtered clean oil is then transported to the cylinder head, crankshaft, and transmission parts.

Why Does the Timing Belt of a New Car Make Abnormal Noises?

Reasons for abnormal noises from the timing belt of a new car: 1. It may be caused by friction between the timing belt and the timing belt cover. You can try loosening the screws on the timing belt cover by half a turn and observe if the noise persists; 2. Abnormalities in the accessory belt; 3. Abnormalities in individual engine bearings. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific gear ratio. The use of a belt instead of gears for transmission is due to the belt's lower noise, minimal self-variation, and ease of compensation. However, since the lifespan of a belt is inevitably shorter than that of metal gears, it is essential to replace the belt regularly.

Does Alcohol Damage Car Paint?

Alcohol can indeed cause some damage to car paint. As a strong organic solvent, alcohol has the ability to dissolve paint. The paint used on car bodies is not significantly different from regular paint, so using alcohol to clean your car can cause some harm to the paint surface. Although alcohol evaporates quickly, over time you may notice a difference in gloss between areas cleaned with alcohol and other parts of the car. When there are substances on the car body that cannot be removed with water, car owners can use specialized car cleaning agents. Simply add a small amount to water, mix it, and then wipe the car.
