What are the advantages of manual transmission over automatic transmission?

1 Answers

Manual transmission is better than automatic transmission. Advantages of manual transmission: Manual transmission is at least 10,000 yuan cheaper than automatic transmission, making it more cost-effective. The transmission technology of manual transmission cars is mature, with high reliability. The maintenance and repair costs are lower than those of automatic transmissions. Being completely manual without electronic assistance, it belongs to a pure mechanical structure, resulting in a much lower failure rate. Manual cars can shift up earlier as needed and can also coast, making them especially suitable for urban driving, more fuel-efficient. They can downshift faster, not only for accelerating and overtaking but also for using the engine to control speed, and even controlling the driving trajectory in corners. Manual transmissions have high power transmission efficiency, providing more power under the same conditions. Advantages of manual transmission compared to automatic transmission: The gear ratio of the transmission is well-tuned, the gear lever is short, the shifting stroke is short, and the gear engagement is clear with a suction feeling. The clutch is light, the engagement point height is moderate, the power matching is reasonable, and the torque output range comes early.

What does 'start' mean on a car?

Start on a car refers to one-key start, also known as a keyless ignition system. One-key start is different from the traditional mechanical key ignition method and conventional starting procedures. Simply press the one-key start button to start or stop the engine, eliminating the hassle of losing or searching for keys. During the ignition process, it is mostly necessary to step on the foot brake. The one-key start device is part of a smart car, serving as a button device that simplifies the ignition process. Vehicles equipped with one-key start functionality generally do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key slot. Its purpose is to allow the use of the mechanical starting method in case the one-key start function malfunctions.

What causes the abnormal noise when lightly pressing the brakes?

There are metal hard spots on the brake pads. Detailed explanations for the abnormal noise when lightly pressing the brakes are as follows: 1. Rust on the surface of the brake disc: First, it could be due to brake disc deformation or rust on the surface. If the vehicle's brake disc is deformed, it may sway left and right during braking, causing wear on the brake pads and resulting in abnormal noise. In such cases, grinding and repairing the brake disc should suffice. Additionally, if the brake disc surface is rusty, the brake pads scraping off the rust spots can also produce noise, which usually disappears after a few minutes. Two emergency brakes at high speed can also resolve this type of noise issue. 2. Mirror-like surface condition: Secondly, new cars or vehicles that have just had their brake pads replaced may produce sharp noises during braking. This happens because the brake disc surface becomes mirror-like after use, and the brake pads develop a hardened layer after friction with the disc. If this hardened layer rubs against the mirror-like brake disc, it can create a sharp, piercing sound. In such situations, simply grinding down the hardened layer will usually prevent the noise during braking. 3. Worn-out brake pads: Another possibility is that the brake pads are completely worn out, causing the limit plate to directly rub against the brake disc and produce noise. To avoid this, regularly inspect the brake pads. If they are only 1/3 of their original width or less than 0.5cm, they should be replaced promptly. Additionally, a loose brake shield can also cause noise during braking. In such cases, the vehicle should be taken to a nearby 4S shop or repair shop for reassembly.

What are the effects of a damaged outer CV joint in a car?

CV joint, also known as a 'constant velocity joint,' transmits power from the transmission to the wheels. A damaged outer CV joint in a car may cause issues such as the vehicle pulling to one side, accelerated tire wear, damage to the power steering pump, and even the steering wheel locking up, making it impossible to turn. Below is some related knowledge about a damaged CV joint: 1. Symptoms of a CV joint problem: Noise when turning the steering wheel, but no noise when driving straight. 2. Cause: Due to a damaged dust cover causing oil leakage, the steel balls and cage inside the CV joint wear out due to lack of lubrication.

How to Remove Car Emblem Stickers?

Methods for removing car emblem stickers: 1. Use a household hairdryer set to the hot air setting, then blow it at the sticker. Once the adhesive on the back of the sticker softens, peel the sticker off the car body. 2. Owners can also try dipping a towel in some essential balm, then wiping the surface of the sticker to evenly coat it. Wait for a while before peeling the sticker off directly. 3. Use a specialized adhesive remover spray on the surface of the sticker, then peel it off directly. However, be cautious when using this method on glass with sun protection film. When removing stickers from the car body, if adhesive residue is left behind, the following methods can be tried: 1. Soak a towel in some alcohol and wipe the adhesive residue to remove it. 2. Use an eraser to rub off the remaining adhesive. 3. Use some tar remover, but wear gloves to avoid corrosion from the cleaner.

Does Using the Heater in Winter Consume Fuel?

Using the heater in winter does not consume fuel. The warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation. When the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the car's interior, creating warm air. When the heater is not in use, the fan stops, and the heat vents close, allowing the dissipated heat to escape completely into the atmosphere. Therefore, the car's heater recycles waste heat and does not consume fuel. The AC button controls the air conditioning compressor. In summer, when using the air conditioner, you must press the AC button to activate the cold air. The heater simply utilizes the car's internal heat circulation and does not require the air conditioning compressor to be turned on. Thus, using the heater only involves adjusting the air conditioning controls without activating the AC switch.
