Symptoms of a broken car driveshaft: 1. A clunking sound when starting or accelerating sharply, with a feeling of loose mechanical parts; 2. A buzzing sound from the chassis while driving, which becomes louder as the speed increases; 3. Severe damage can lead to inability to drive, as well as phenomena such as veering off course and severe shaking. If these symptoms occur, the vehicle can be taken to a repair facility to check whether the driveshaft's working clearance is normal and whether the dynamic balance has failed. The driveshaft is a crucial component in the car's drivetrain that transmits power, working together with the gearbox and drive axle to transfer the engine's power to the wheels, generating driving force for the car. The driveshaft is a high-speed, minimally supported rotating body, making dynamic balance very important. Generally, driveshafts undergo dynamic balance testing before leaving the factory and are adjusted on a balancing machine.

What is the operation method of an automatic transmission car?

The operation method of an automatic transmission car is: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear. Remove the gear lever from P gear while stepping on the brake, turn on the power, step on the brake, shift to N gear, and after ignition, shift to D gear to move forward; 2. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. When shifting from L gear to lower restricted gears, press the shift button, but shifting from lower to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button; 3. Do not shift to N gear while driving to coast; 4. After driving, turn off the engine and shift to P gear before removing the key. The precautions for driving an automatic transmission car are: 1. Automatic transmission cars have protection and interlock functions for dangerous actions. You can freely switch between D and N gears, but switching from D to R or P gear incorrectly can be dangerous; 2. When parked on a steep slope where gravity exceeds the idle power, the vehicle may roll backward, so you should use the handbrake to start; 3. Coasting in neutral for a long time can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, damaging the internal friction plates.
