Transmission repair will cause the car to depreciate. Transmission maintenance methods: When shifting gears in a manual transmission, be sure to fully depress the clutch to completely cut off power, preventing gear collisions and grinding during shifting, thereby reducing gear damage through buffering. Transmission temperature maintenance: During vehicle operation, pay attention to the transmission's temperature and any abnormal noises. If the housing temperature exceeds 70°C to 80°C, it indicates that some components inside the transmission are not functioning properly. You should stop the vehicle immediately for inspection and promptly identify and resolve the issue. Car owners who are not familiar with vehicles can visit the nearest repair shop for professional inspection by a mechanic.

Last time I sold my car, the transmission had just been repaired, and the buyer bargained the price down. It did depreciate, mainly due to concerns about post-repair reliability, like whether the clutch or gears were fully fixed. But the depreciation amount varies: if it was repaired at an authorized 4S shop with invoices and complete records, it might only drop by a thousand or two. However, if it was fixed at a small workshop with no records, people would definitely suspect if it was an accident car, leading to a bigger depreciation. My car was an old automatic with high mileage. After the repair, the gear shifts felt smooth, but it still got nitpicked when selling. I recommend regular transmission maintenance, using the right fluids to reduce sudden issues. Before selling, organize the repair receipts and be transparent—this minimizes depreciation and reassures buyers.

Can a Punctured BMW Run-Flat Tire Be Repaired?

BMW run-flat tires can be repaired if punctured. Here are specific details about run-flat tires: Differences from conventional tires: Run-flat tires differ from conventional tires in terms of their run-flat capability, reinforced sidewalls, additional valve strip, and high-heat-resistant synthetic rubber material. Advantages: In case of air loss, run-flat tires allow the vehicle to continue driving up to 250 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h. The reason run-flat tires don't collapse after air loss is primarily due to their thickened rubber sidewalls. Even without air pressure, the sidewalls can support the vehicle's weight without significant deformation, so a punctured tire doesn't severely affect the vehicle's operation.

The total mileage cannot be reset, but auto parts stores can adjust the total mileage using specialized equipment. For some vehicles, you can locate the odometer sensor connector on the transmission or driveshaft and gently unplug it by hand.
