Does aggressive driving affect the transmission?

It will have an impact, leading to increased engine wear and potential risks such as engine seizure or cylinder scoring. Effects: It directly affects the engine, transmission, and vehicle body. High engine RPM with insufficient temperature and lubrication leads to increased engine wear, posing risks of engine seizure or cylinder scoring. Hard braking also impacts the braking system, accelerating wear on brake pads and discs, as well as tire wear. This results in reduced braking performance, longer stopping distances, and a higher likelihood of traffic accidents over time. Driving Precautions: During the break-in period, a car's load should not exceed 75% of the rated capacity. New cars should be loaded below the specified weight or passenger limit, and overloading must be avoided. Overloading increases the burden on the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, and other components, accelerating wear and causing damage to the vehicle. Maintain smooth starts, avoid slamming the accelerator, and keep engine RPM within reasonable limits. Since components are still in the break-in period, excessive load and high speeds can intensify impact on parts, not only failing to reduce surface roughness but also causing damage. Aggressively pressing the accelerator for rapid acceleration forces the engine to operate under heavy load instantly, making it prone to impact-related wear.
