Clicking Sound When Shifting Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmission makes a clicking sound when shifting, which can occur under the following circumstances: 1. Generator gear issue. The symptom is a clicking sound when shifting to D or R gear while pressing the brake, but no sound when shifting to N gear. There is no abnormal noise while driving. Solution: Replace the generator. 2. Large valve clearance and poor lubrication when the engine is cold. The symptom is a clicking sound when shifting during the transition from cold to warm engine state, lasting about 3 minutes. This is normal and requires no action. 3. Parking on a slope by shifting to P gear first and then applying the handbrake. On a slope, due to inertia, there is an "external force." If P gear is engaged first, it bears the force, and the vehicle's weight is entirely on the P gear, resulting in a clicking sound when shifting. If the handbrake is applied first, the handbrake bears the force, and no clicking sound occurs. 4. Shifting while the vehicle is not fully stopped. This operation not only causes abnormal noise but also significantly shortens the transmission's lifespan.

What is the total number of cars in China?

As of September 2018, the total number of motor vehicles in China reached 322 million, including 235 million cars. The following is relevant information about car ownership: Definition: Car ownership (car-parc) refers to the number of vehicles in a region, usually referring to vehicles registered locally. However, car ownership is different from motor vehicle ownership, as the latter includes motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, etc. Problems caused by the increase in car ownership: Although China's car ownership per thousand people is still less than half of the world average, the traffic congestion and air pollution caused by the rapid increase in the number of cars have reached a very serious level. Almost all major cities suffer from severe traffic congestion, and before National Day, Beijing repeatedly experienced unprecedented traffic jams. Air pollution caused by vehicle exhaust emissions has become the main source of pollution in many large cities.

What is the difference between service brake and parking brake?

Service brake and parking brake have the following differences: Working principle: The parking brake refers to the handbrake, while emergency braking is mainly distinguished from anticipatory braking, which means taking immediate braking measures when an emergency is detected to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible time. Engine braking refers to using the engine's drag force to implement braking, such as when going downhill for a long distance. If the brakes are applied for too long, the brake pads may burn out. In such cases, you can shift to a lower gear and coast at idle speed, using the engine's drag force to control the vehicle's speed. Usage scenarios: The brake is the braking system. Brakes are divided into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (handbrake). During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to slow down or stop the vehicle while moving forward, not just to keep the car stationary. The parking brake is used only when the service brake fails. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (handbrake) should be applied to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Not Moving?

Reasons for a car not moving include: 1. Battery depletion: The battery voltage is below the rated value, preventing the starter from operating normally; 2. Fuel flow obstruction: Long-term dirt accumulation in the fuel lines, and at lower temperatures, water mixing with debris blocks the fuel lines, resulting in no oil pressure in the engine's fuel supply pipe, causing failure to start; 3. Poor ignition system performance: Insufficient ignition energy, excessive fuel accumulation in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration, making normal operation impossible. Solutions for a car not moving are: 1. Charge the battery; 2. Place the car in a warm environment or clean the fuel lines; 3. Check the ignition system to eliminate the cause of low ignition energy.

How can beginners determine the position of their car tires while driving?

Beginners can determine the position of their car tires through the following methods: Using the nodes of the vehicle's wipers to determine the position of the wheels: However, this method is not suitable for all car models. The sizes of wipers vary among different models, and the driver's sitting posture also differs, which may lead to slight inaccuracies when determining the position of the wheels. Using the vehicle's steering wheel to determine the position of the left-side wheels: Since the steering wheel in China is on the left, it is relatively easier to determine the position of the left front wheel. The leftmost edge of the steering wheel, when extended forward in a straight line, indicates the position of the left-side wheels. If this line coincides with the road markings, it means the car is driving on the line. Using the emergency hazard light button switch in the vehicle: Nowadays, the emergency hazard light switches in many vehicles are designed in the center of the dashboard. While driving, the extension line of the hazard light switch's position can be used to determine the position of the right-side wheels.
