How to Deal with Frequently Stalling When Braking in Automatic Transmission Subject 2?
2 Answers
Frequently stalling when braking in automatic transmission Subject 2 is a mistake. The correct approach is to press the brake until the speed drops to a certain level, then press the clutch. Below are some related introductions about automatic transmissions: 1. Introduction to Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic Principle: The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears. It can automatically shift gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed with the accelerator pedal. Generally, the commonly used automatic transmissions in vehicles include the following types: hydraulic automatic transmissions, continuously variable mechanical automatic transmissions, etc.
When I was practicing for the Subject 2 test, I often stalled the automatic transmission car. My instructor noticed that I had a habit of tapping the brake with my toes, and when I got slightly nervous, I would press too hard. Switching to using the ball of my foot to steadily press the brake pedal, applying even pressure like stepping on cotton, made a big difference. Remember, when practicing reverse parking, start lightly applying the brake half a meter earlier—don’t wait until the reference point to slam on the brakes. If you keep stalling during hill starts, try using the handbrake to stabilize the car first, then slowly release the foot brake while adding throttle. Wear thin-soled shoes during practice to better feel the pedal pressure, and at home, you can even use an empty water bottle to improve ankle flexibility. Drinking half a cup of warm water before the test can also help reduce hand tremors and stiff feet.
