BMW e34 has an 8-speed transmission. How the transmission works: The transmission is essentially a gearbox containing multiple gears. The driving gear (connected to the engine via the clutch) receives power from the engine to drive the driven gear (connected to the wheels through the final drive and driveshaft), thereby propelling the wheels. Each gear position corresponds to a pair of driving gears - engaging a specific gear means that particular gear pair connects to transmit power. Automotive transmissions: There are two main types: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) comprise a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, utilizing hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations to achieve speed and torque variation.

Can New Energy Vehicles Be Submerged in Water?

If the water level does not reach the battery, there will be no problem; if the battery is submerged but for less than half an hour, there will also be no issue. However, if it exceeds half an hour, it can be very dangerous. After submersion, the following should be checked: Although the battery has sufficient waterproofing capabilities, electrical leakage or short circuits can still occur at the plugs or positive and negative terminal posts. After a new energy vehicle is submerged, besides checking the battery, the connection points such as plugs should also be inspected. Water Wading Capability of New Energy Vehicles: Since new energy vehicles do not have exhaust systems, their water wading capability is slightly better than that of fuel-powered vehicles. The highest water level they can handle is up to the lower skirt.

Are Motorcycle Levers Universal?

Motorcycle levers are generally universal parts for motorcycles. The functions of motorcycle levers: Motorcycle levers are used for braking and clutch operation. Many riders choose to modify their motorcycle levers after purchasing a bike. When modifying, it's crucial to use high-quality levers. Composition of motorcycle levers: The most important component of a lever is the arm. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) levers are typically designed by manufacturers based on experience to match the required force for the pump body, providing riders with some damping and linear control feel. If the lever is too light, it may be difficult to perceive in the initial stage and prone to locking up in rainy conditions. If it's too heavy, it can be tiring to operate and harder to achieve maximum braking force.

What are the measures to improve car comfort?

There are several measures to improve car comfort: Install a rectifier: After installing a capacitor of about 200,000 microfarads, the current can be stabilized, which can instantly power electrical appliances of about 500W and compensate the voltage of all the car's electrical appliances. The engine ignition system will have a stable and sufficient power supply, resulting in stronger ignition and more powerful performance. Installing a rectifier can also greatly improve the sound quality of the audio system and increase the brightness of the car lights. Minimize noise: You can apply butyl rubber vibration damping pads and sound insulation cotton to the roof, doors, floor, trunk floor, trunk lid, and engine compartment lid to reduce resonance and wind noise. Sound insulation can also be applied to the wheel positions to reduce road noise.
