When shifting gears and releasing the clutch, if the engine speed does not match the current vehicle speed (meaning there's a speed difference between the engine RPM and clutch disc RPM - in most cases the engine RPM is lower than the clutch disc RPM), a jerking sensation will occur. Impact on the vehicle: The speed difference between engine and clutch disc leads to imperfect engagement between clutch and engine. The force interaction between clutch and engine accelerates clutch wear. The gear-shifting impact also damages transmission gears. The sudden engine-driven transmission rotation increases fuel consumption. Therefore, prolonged occurrence will inevitably affect vehicle performance over time.

Will the car engine get water in on rainy days?

Here is a detailed introduction about whether the engine will get water in on rainy days: When the vehicle is in a static state: If the vehicle is parked and submerged in water without starting the engine, as long as the water level does not reach the intake port of the engine's air intake system, the engine will not be damaged. When the vehicle is driving through flooded areas: If the water level exceeds half of the tire height, there is a possibility of water entering the engine. This is because when water enters the engine intake port either statically or dynamically, it will flow into the cylinders through the intake port, forming a mixture of air and water. While air can be compressed, water cannot. When the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress towards the piston, the water cannot be compressed, causing the connecting rod to bend under the force of the water. If the engine stalls at this point and attempts are made to restart the car, the immense counterforce can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block. Once the top of the engine cylinder block bends, there is a risk of it breaking.
