There are three main reasons for shaking when shifting gears in a car: Driving habits: The driver may have issues with the gear-shifting operation, resulting in poor coordination between the throttle and clutch. Transmission components: Loose or severely worn parts, a locked or loose clutch operating mechanism, severe wear on the clutch spline, or a bent transmission input shaft can cause clutch shaking. In such cases, the corresponding parts should be replaced. Loose engine mounting: A loose engine mount or misalignment between the transmission input shaft and the engine crankshaft centerline can also lead to clutch shaking. The engine should be tightened or the parts replaced in this scenario.

How to Replace the Battery of a Mercedes-Benz GLA?

It is necessary to find an AGM battery with the same specifications as the original vehicle. If the specifications are different, it may cause the engine module to receive insufficient voltage, resulting in the inability to clear the fault warning light. For a power-off replacement, first remove the key from the vehicle and wait for 5 minutes to allow the vehicle to enter sleep mode before proceeding with the replacement. When connecting the battery terminals, connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal. After installation, you can spray anti-rust protectant or acid-free grease on the battery terminals for protection. Start the vehicle and check if the electrical system is functioning properly.

What Must Be in a Car?

Essential items in a vehicle include a triangular warning sign and a driver's license. Other items and their functions are as follows: 1. Parking sensors: Avoid collisions. With the increasing number of cars and new drivers, minor accidents have become more frequent. Many car owners install parking sensors after purchasing a vehicle. The most common types are 4-sensor systems mounted on the rear bumper and 6-sensor systems (2 front, 4 rear). 2. GPS navigation: Avoid getting lost. A great helper for those who are directionally challenged. Many people think only high-end imported cars come with GPS navigation, but in reality, many car enthusiasts and those who frequently travel or work out of town find GPS navigation indispensable. The GPS navigation system, typically installed in front of the driver’s seat like an in-car DVD player, provides voice prompts to guide the driver to the destination via the fastest or shortest route. Window tinting: Blocks UV rays, prevents direct sunlight from entering the car, and enhances privacy. Experts recommend new car owners opt for explosion-proof film. This type of film offers excellent visibility, ensuring clarity when looking out from inside the car, regardless of the tint’s darkness, and maintains good visibility during nighttime and rainy conditions. When choosing explosion-proof film, consider clarity, transparency, and heat insulation effectiveness.
