Automatic transmission cars may experience a jerking sensation when shifting gears due to the following reasons: 1. Internal clutch pressure leakage in the transmission; 2. Blocked or obstructed transmission oil passages, wear and tear on the oil passage plate, or degraded transmission oil leading to reduced lubrication effectiveness; 3. Insufficient transmission oil level below the standard mark; 4. Damaged solenoid valve, causing sludge in the transmission oil to circulate and clog the oil passages within the valve body. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual gear shifting by the driver, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars feature six gear positions arranged from top to bottom as follows: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What documents and procedures are required for vehicle transfer?

Materials required for vehicle transfer include the vehicle's driving license, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle registration supplementary form (obtained from the local vehicle management office with ID card and driving license), vehicle purchase tax certificate, compulsory insurance policy for the current year, ID cards of both the buyer and seller, and for non-local residents, a residence permit is required, with the buyer's residence permit needing to be valid for at least one year. Contract signing is required for transfer: Both parties need to sign the "Used Motor Vehicle Sales Contract" supervised by the industrial and commercial department. The contract is made in triplicate, with one copy for each party and one retained by the industrial and commercial department. The vehicle transfer or relocation procedures can only be processed after the contract is filed with the industrial and commercial department. Procedures for transfer: After the evaluation report is issued, the transfer procedures can begin. The completed transfer certificate should be kept by the buyer, and the seller is advised to retain a copy for future reference.

Is it okay if the car doesn't stall when passing through waterlogged sections?

It has an impact on the car. After wading through water, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle should be conducted. Precautions for driving through water: When driving through water, the speed should not be too fast. Use a low gear to enter the water smoothly and proceed slowly to prevent water splashes from wetting the engine's electrical components, which could cause the engine to stall. Below is an introduction to vehicle insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state. If not purchased, traffic police can impose fines upon inspection. This insurance provides limited compensation, mainly for others, and does not cover your own vehicle. 2. Third-party Liability Insurance: This is used to compensate for losses caused by the owner to third-party personal injuries or deaths. This must be purchased as it provides protection for both yourself and others. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Used to compensate for losses to your own vehicle caused by natural disasters and accidents. It is recommended for new drivers. 4. No-deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the responsibility the owner would otherwise bear to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. If you have purchased both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-party Liability Insurance, it is best to also purchase No-deductible Insurance.

Is It Harmful If Half of the Car Tire Is Submerged in Water?

Generally, it is not harmful if half of the car tire is submerged in water, as long as water does not enter the interior of the vehicle. If water enters the interior and remains for a certain period, it may cause short circuits and damage electrical components. In case of water submersion, promptly open the hood, disconnect the battery, and drain the water by methods such as using a high-pressure air pump to blow it dry or allowing it to air-dry naturally. Avoid starting the engine under any circumstances. There are three scenarios of car submersion: 1. Half-wheel height: When water reaches half the height of the car's wheel. If the seals are intact, water usually does not enter. However, if submerged for an extended period or if the seals are compromised, water may seep in. 2. Submersion up to the floor mats: This is serious and can damage the engine and electrical systems. Most of the time, if the water level does not exceed the cabin floor, the damage is minimal. 3. Submersion up to the exhaust pipe: The car can still drive at a low gear with steady speed. When the engine is running, it forces exhaust gases out, creating higher pressure inside the exhaust pipe than the external water pressure. Thus, even if the exhaust pipe is submerged, the engine will not stall. In this situation, the car should be driven in a low gear at a steady speed to pass through. In low gear, the engine has sufficient power to overcome additional resistance.

How to affix temporary parking number plates?

Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously, with one placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle.
