Is AMT an Automatic Transmission?

AMT is an automatic transmission. AMT, or Automated Manual Transmission, operates by adding a computer-controlled automatic operating system to the basic structure of a manual transmission to achieve automated gear shifting. The AMT transmission is an integrated electromechanical-hydraulic automatic transmission that combines the advantages of both AT and MT. AMT not only has the benefits of automatic shifting like a conventional automatic transmission but also retains the high efficiency, low cost, simple structure, and ease of manufacturing of the original manual transmission's gear drive. It is modified from a manual transmission, retaining most of the original assembly components, with only the gear lever part of the manual operating system being altered.

I've driven an AMT car for ten years, technically speaking, it counts as an automatic transmission. AMT stands for Automated Manual Transmission, which is essentially a manual gearbox but with an added electronic control unit that automatically handles the clutch and gear shifting for you. When driving, you don’t need to press the clutch or manually shift gears at all—the system takes care of all the actions, so the driving experience feels just as effortless as a pure automatic transmission. Of course, its simple structure and low cost make it particularly effortless in traffic jams or city driving, unlike manual transmissions that can tire your feet. However, AMT sometimes has gearshift jerks, especially noticeable as hesitation during acceleration. Overall, if you’re looking to save money without manual operation, AMT is definitely a great choice. I recommend starting with entry-level models, as many budget cars come equipped with it, and maintenance is relatively cheap—just be mindful of regular clutch wear checks.

What to Do If the License Plate Screw Hole Is Damaged?

If the license plate screw hole is damaged, you can go to the vehicle management office to replace it or use rivets to re-secure the license plate. Alternatively, you can remove it, weld a bolt, apply anti-rust coating, or offset the screw hole position and drill a new hole in the license plate. If you need to replace the screws, simply go to the vehicle management office to apply for them. However, it's important to note that screws in each province or city have special markings, so be careful not to install them incorrectly. License plates, commonly referred to as vehicle tags, are the numbering and information registration for each vehicle, displaying the registration number, registration area, or other relevant details. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and allow authorities to trace the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the plate.

Does Cruise Control Affect the Car?

Cruise control does not affect the car. Here are some precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to road conditions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road surfaces (such as slippery roads, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); 2. Avoid pressing the clutch: After the system is activated and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, do not press the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and lead to damage. 3. Check for faults: When using the cruise control system, observe whether the "CRUISE" indicator light on the dashboard is flashing. If it is flashing, it indicates that the cruise control system is in a fault state.

What are the main reasons for diesel vehicles emitting black smoke?

The main reasons for diesel vehicles emitting black smoke are: 1. Uneven or excessive fuel supply from the high-pressure fuel pump to each cylinder, which can cause unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke; 2. Poor quality diesel fuel that is difficult to ignite, leading to black smoke emissions, and also prone to carbon buildup in the combustion chamber and exhaust pipe muffler; 3. Overly rich air-fuel mixture resulting in incomplete combustion, which can be caused by various factors such as high fuel pressure, damaged fuel injectors leaking fuel, or poor ignition performance; 4. Severe wear of cylinder liners and piston components, which leads to poor piston ring sealing, a significant drop in cylinder pressure, resulting in incomplete combustion of diesel and black smoke emissions, along with a sharp decrease in engine power, and in severe cases, the engine may even stall automatically.
