An automatic transmission car shaking when shifting to reverse gear may be due to insufficient or dirty transmission fluid. Here are the details about automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P (Park) Position: This is the parking and starting position. When engaged, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. 2. R (Reverse) Position: This is the reverse gear. Engaging this position connects the hydraulic system's reverse gear circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never force the gearshift into "R" position when the vehicle isn't completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) Position: This is the neutral gear. When engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 4. D (Drive) Position: This is the forward drive position. When the gear selector is in this position, the hydraulic control unit automatically engages appropriate forward gears based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals, enabling automatic shifting according to driving speed for automatic transmission functionality. 5. S (Sport) Position: This is sport mode. When selected, the transmission control module receives the driver's command, putting the vehicle into sport mode with more aggressive shift logic, frequent gear changes, enhanced throttle response, and improved driving dynamics for greater driving pleasure.

What are the classifications of buses?

Buses are classified into 4 categories: micro buses, light buses, medium buses, and large buses. The following is a detailed introduction to bus classifications: 1. Types: Traditional buses can be single-deck or double-deck; articulated or trailer-type. They may have two doors, a single door, or be equipped with a luggage compartment. Most buses are powered by diesel engines, though there are now pure electric models with all-metal bodies. In terms of energy consumption and road space per passenger, public transport vehicles are more economical than private vehicles, which is one of the main reasons many countries prioritize the development of public transport buses. 2. Status: Globally, car manufacturing and popularization are widespread, so the bus manufacturing industry, as the main body of public transport, demonstrates considerable maturity in both design concepts and technology. Europe leads the world in bus technology and research capabilities. China's bus industry holds an important position internationally in terms of design capability and manufacturing level.

Why does the steering wheel shake when driving fast?

Here are the reasons why the steering wheel shakes when driving fast: 1. It is a manifestation of poor wheel dynamic balance. Go to the after-sales service for a dynamic balance check. 2. Check whether the front and rear shock-absorbing support rubber blocks of the engine and transmission are normal. Go to the after-sales service for inspection and repair. Additional information: 1. Dynamic balance: If the shaking occurs at 80-120 mph and disappears above or below this range, the four-wheel dynamic balance should be checked first. Possible causes include the detachment of tire balance weights, failure to perform dynamic balance after tire repair, or inaccurate measurements by dynamic balance machines in some small roadside shops. 2. Tires and rims: The deformation of tires and rims is usually caused by careless driving habits, such as driving too fast on rough roads, climbing curbs, or passing over speed bumps at high speeds, all of which can lead to this issue.

Is the Transmission the Same as the Engine?

Transmission is not the engine. The transmission is the transmission, and the engine is the engine—they are two completely different machines. Engine cylinders can be single-cylinder, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 cylinders, etc.; transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental impact. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others. The transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations.

What Are the Effects of a Car Being Exposed to Rain Overnight?

The effects of a car being exposed to rain overnight are as follows: 1. Paint surface corrosion: In areas with severe pollution, rain is mostly acidic, exposing the car's paint to acid rain, which can corrode the paint, leading to water marks, oxidation, and even cracking. 2. Dampness and mold: Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to dampness and mold after rain. Additionally, rainwater can seep into the car's body seams, causing metal parts to rust and corrode. Therefore, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible after the rain stops to prevent mold growth. 3. Bacterial growth: The more humid the environment, the faster bacteria multiply, especially during the rainy season. Areas that are usually dry can be ventilated to maintain air circulation, but during the rainy season, avoid opening windows to prevent rapid bacterial growth inside the car. 4. Headlight water ingress: Water entering the headlights can affect their brightness, and excessive water may damage the headlights and alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard while driving.
