FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota use the same transmission fluid with no differences. This is because both FAW and GAC collaborate with Toyota, and their engines, transmissions, and chassis are identical. Symptoms indicating the need for transmission fluid replacement include: vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation; transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; engine stalling; and unusual noises. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities accumulated at the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission fluid: Dynamic fluid replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. Hazards of not replacing transmission fluid for an extended period: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impaired transmission operation, leading to damage to the transmission valve body.

How to Operate an Automatic Transmission Car When Driving Down a Steep Slope?

When driving an automatic transmission car down a steep slope, the operation method is: if the slope is small, you can directly use the D gear while stepping on the brake; if the slope is very steep, shift from D gear to a low gear, the L gear, which is the low gear, is used for safety considerations. When going down a long slope, the L gear can utilize the engine's resistance to control the speed, reducing the frequency of using the car's brakes and preventing thermal degradation caused by frequent braking, which could lead to dangerous situations. An automatic transmission means that the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. There are six gear positions on the car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What to Do When the 5th Gear of a Manual Transmission Car Gets Stuck and Cannot Be Disengaged?

The solutions for a manual transmission car's 5th gear getting stuck and unable to be disengaged are: 1. Check if the clutch pedal's free travel is too large and adjust it; 2. Check if the separation lever height is consistent and not too low. Under the car, move the separation fork so that the front end of the separation bearing lightly touches the inner end of the separation lever. Rotate the clutch once to inspect. If the inner end of the separation lever cannot simultaneously contact the separation bearing, it indicates the separation lever height is inconsistent and should be adjusted. The method to start a manual transmission car is: 1. Insert the key and turn on the ignition switch to start the engine; 2. Press the clutch pedal and shift the gear lever into 1st gear; 3.
