Yaxiang (not called 'Yaxiang') is a transmission, just a different term for it. The formal name is transmission, while the industry slang is Yaxiang. Transmissions are categorized into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, which differ in structure. A manual transmission consists of planetary gears, brakes, and one-way clutches; an automatic transmission is composed of a pump wheel, turbine, and guide wheel. Introduction to Transmissions: A transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. Functions of a Transmission: The primary role of a transmission in a vehicle is to amplify torque, adjust speed, enable reverse motion, and interrupt power. The engine transmits power to the transmission through a clutch plate or hydraulic coupler. After speed adjustment by the transmission, the power is output to the driveshaft, which then transfers the power to the wheels, driving the vehicle forward. This constitutes a complete power transmission process. Whether the transmission is automatic or manual, their transmission paths are the same.

I'm a car mechanic with over a decade of experience. I often hear people asking if the 'pressure box' refers to the transmission. Actually, there's no such component called 'pressure box' - you might have misheard the names of transmission parts. There is a pressure plate inside the transmission that works with the clutch disc. The transmission's primary function is to convert engine speed and torque, ensuring smooth wheel rotation at different vehicle speeds. Once I encountered a rookie who called the entire transmission a 'pressure box', which caused communication issues during repairs and wasted half a day. I recommend learning proper terminology: manual cars have gearshift levers, automatic cars have planetary gear sets, hybrids have electronic controllers - all these belong to the transmission system.

What is the difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine?

The difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine lies in the number of cylinders: a 3-cylinder engine has three cylinders, while a 4-cylinder engine has four cylinders. The working principles of both 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines are as follows: 1. Compression stroke: The piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, with both the intake and exhaust valves closed; 2. Intake stroke: The piston is driven by the crankshaft from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, while the intake valve opens and the exhaust valve closes; 3. Exhaust stroke: The exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, expelling exhaust gases as the piston rises; 4. Combustion and expansion stroke: Both the intake and exhaust valves close, the spark plug ignites, and the air-fuel mixture burns vigorously.

Where is the radiator located in a Honda Fit?

Honda Fit's radiator is positioned in front of the driver's seat, near the area of the headlights. The function of the radiator is: when the engine's water temperature rises, the water pump circulates repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, thereby protecting the engine. Taking the 2021 Fit as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4109mm, width 1694mm, height 1537mm, wheelbase 2530mm, fuel tank capacity 40L, and curb weight 1088kg. The 2021 Fit features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131PS, maximum power of 96kW, and maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.

Can the Position Lights and Low Beam Headlights Be Turned On Simultaneously?

Position lights and low beam headlights cannot be turned on simultaneously. Generally, the vehicle's light switch does not allow both position lights and low beam headlights to be activated at the same time. Low beam headlights are used for illumination during nighttime driving. Vehicles also have high beam headlights, which provide longer illumination distance and higher brightness. Position lights do not serve an illumination purpose. Position lights are warning lights designed to alert other vehicles. They are located at the front and rear edges of the vehicle, and large trucks also have position lights on their roofs and sides. Position lights are installed along the edges of the vehicle's roof, indicating both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety regulations require that vehicles with a height exceeding three meters must be equipped with position lights, which are white at the front and red at the rear.

What is the sign of low tire pressure?

The signs of low tire pressure are: 1. Excessive wear on the tire shoulder; 2. Reduced adhesion between tire components leading to delamination; 3. Severe underinflation causing sidewall damage from rolling; 4. Excessive tire bouncing, resulting in abnormal wear between the bead area and the rim, damaging the bead; 5. Increased rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. The functions of tires are: 1. Direct contact with the road surface, working with the vehicle suspension to cushion impacts during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Ensuring excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability; 4. Bearing the weight of the vehicle.
