Clutch pedal travel becoming shorter is a consequence of clutch disc wear. The thinner the clutch disc becomes, the smaller the free travel of the clutch. Clutch Introduction: The clutch is a commonly used component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be engaged or disengaged as needed. Its basic requirements include smooth engagement, rapid and complete disengagement, ease of adjustment and repair, compact size, lightweight, good wear resistance, sufficient heat dissipation capacity, and effortless operation. Clutch Classification: Commonly used clutches are divided into two types: jaw clutches and friction clutches. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, serving as the assembly component in the vehicle's drivetrain that directly connects to the engine.

Where is the ETC tag placed?

The ETC installation position is generally in the upper-middle part of the front windshield for regular vehicles, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower-middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with pre-installed or later-added anti-explosion film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide their valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. For company vehicles, the required documents include: A letter of introduction from the vehicle owner (with company seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); original ID card of the proxy; original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle that needs to have ETC installed. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas of the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it casually once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

What Size Tube Can Pass Through the Fuel Tank Anti-Theft Screen?

Generally, a 1cm diameter oil extraction hose can pass through the car's fuel tank anti-theft screen. The anti-theft fuel tank refers to a new type of fuel tank that prevents oil theft by making it impossible for an oil suction pipe to enter the tank interior even if the fuel cap is damaged. Hard objects also cannot damage the wire mesh through the curved section of the fuel filler neck, effectively solving fuel theft issues. Methods for extracting oil through the fuel tank anti-theft screen: Open the engine hood and locate the gasoline pipes connecting the engine to the fuel tank. Typically, there are three pipes: one is the fuel supply pipe, which pumps gasoline from the fuel pump to the engine; another is the return pipe, sending unused gasoline back to the tank; and the third is the carbon canister pipe, connected to the carbon canister for absorbing gasoline vapors. If you cannot identify the corresponding pipes, remove all three and extend them with plastic tubing to a container for collecting gasoline. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-proof. Then, open the car's relay box, locate the fuel pump relay, remove it carefully, and use a wire to short-circuit pins 85 and 86 on the relay socket. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "ON" position. For push-button start models, press the start button lightly without depressing the brake pedal. Gasoline will then flow out from the pipes. Once enough gasoline has been extracted, turn off the ignition, remove the short-circuit wire, reinsert the fuel pump relay, and finally reconnect all fuel pipes. Be sure to remember the correct connections to avoid errors. Always prioritize safety during the oil extraction process, ensuring no open flames or flammable materials are nearby, and take necessary fire prevention measures.
