When a car's pressure plate is worn, the following symptoms may occur: Slipping phenomenon: Wear on the pressure plate can cause the clutch disc to slip. If the clutch disc slips, the engine will not be able to transmit all its power to the wheels, resulting in insufficient power for the vehicle. After the pressure plate is damaged: Once the pressure plate is damaged, it needs to be replaced immediately; otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of the car. A damaged pressure plate cannot be repaired, so it is recommended to replace it with a new one. To replace the pressure plate, the connection between the engine and the transmission must be disassembled, and the transmission must be lifted off the car. Only then can the pressure plate be replaced. Replacing the pressure plate or clutch disc is a complex and costly process, so it is advisable for car owners to maintain proper driving habits to extend the lifespan of both the clutch disc and the pressure plate.

What are the symptoms of a faulty torque converter?

Symptoms of a faulty torque converter: 1. Overheating of the torque converter oil; 2. Insufficient oil supply pressure in the torque converter; 3. Oil leakage from the torque converter; 4. The machine moves at too low a speed or lacks power; 5. Abnormal noises from inside during operation. A torque converter is a hydraulic component composed of a pump wheel, turbine, and guide wheel, installed between the engine and the transmission. It uses hydraulic oil as the working medium to transmit torque, change torque, shift gears, and act as a clutch. Functions of the torque converter: 1. It can automatically and continuously adjust the turbine speed according to load changes, improving the vehicle's passing ability; 2. The torque converter connects the pump wheel and turbine through liquid, reducing the impact load of the engine on the transmission system and extending the lifespan of the transmission system.

Is Light Braking Required in School Zones for Subject Three?

Light braking is required in school zones for Subject Three. Similar to bus stops, the vehicle speed must be below 30 km/h when passing through, and light braking should be applied to slow down. If encountering situations like students crossing the road after school, the vehicle must stop and wait. Key locations requiring light braking in Subject Three: 1. Straight through intersections: Due to complex conditions at intersections, there may be vehicles or pedestrians passing. Learners should apply light braking in advance to reduce speed, keeping it below 30 km/h. Even if the light is green with no obstacles or pedestrians, light braking is mandatory. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification. 2. Left or right turns: Regardless of the direction, turn signals must be activated in advance, followed by deceleration (some learners may already be driving slowly but should still apply light braking before turning). 3. Bus stops: Passing bus stops usually comes with voice prompts. If not, pay attention to roadside signs and apply light braking to pass slowly. 4. Pedestrian crossings: Learners must apply light braking to slow down when passing pedestrian crossings. If pedestrians are crossing, the vehicle must stop and wait, ensuring it does not stop on the crossing. Avoid rushing or honking, as such behavior will lead to disqualification. 5. School zones: Similar to bus stops, the speed must be below 30 km/h, and light braking is required to slow down. If students are crossing, stop and wait. 6. U-turns: Deceleration is mandatory during U-turns, shifting to lower gears (1st or 2nd) if necessary. Failing to slow down will result in poor vehicle stability. 7. Oncoming vehicles: Learners must decelerate when encountering oncoming vehicles. The system usually provides instructions; even if no vehicle is present, follow the procedure and decelerate upon hearing the instruction.
