Gear slippage refers to the phenomenon where the gear shift lever automatically returns to the neutral position during vehicle operation, causing the sliding gear to disengage from its normal meshing position. The following are reasons for gear slippage in automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Severe gear wear in the transmission: The transmission, primarily the gearbox of a vehicle, can be categorized into manual and automatic transmissions. Gear slippage is more likely to occur during gear disengagement. If the gears inside the transmission are worn out, they cannot facilitate vehicle operation. The external force on the gear shaft becomes particularly strong, and when it continuously exceeds the force generated by the spring, it results in automatic gear disengagement. 2. Improper operation: The gear shift lever serves as one of the control systems in a vehicle, governing the entire vehicle's speed and providing driving force. Sometimes, when driving on rough and bumpy roads, if the gear shift lever is not properly positioned, it fails to align the transmission gears correctly, causing them to slip and disengage.

What is the annual inspection policy for new energy vehicles?

Annual inspection policy for new energy vehicles: According to current regulations, new energy vehicles follow the same policy as fuel-powered vehicles, enjoying a six-year exemption from inspection for new vehicles. After six years, new energy vehicles must undergo biennial inspections, annual inspections for vehicles over ten years old, and semi-annual inspections for those within fifteen years. Here are the advantages of new energy vehicles: 1. Fuel energy conservation: They typically use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Environmental protection: They reduce exhaust emissions and effectively protect the environment. Electric vehicles produce no exhaust and are pollution-free. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit only water, causing no environmental pollution. Due to their near-zero emissions, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make a Clicking Sound When Returning to Center?

Reasons for the steering wheel making a clicking sound when returning to center: Aging of Tie Rods: Wear and tear of the tie rod ends can cause play in the tie rods, leading to abnormal noises from the steering wheel. Solution: Replace the tie rod ends, but remember to perform a wheel alignment after replacement. Steering Gear Failure: If abnormal noises occur when turning the steering wheel and the steering feel is noticeably uneven, it might be due to excessive wear of the steering gear's mating gears causing excessive clearance. Solution: Replace the steering gear. Aging of Power Steering Belt: Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt. Solution: For mechanically hydraulic power steering systems, if the drive belt is improperly tensioned or aged, it can cause abnormal noises. Adjust or replace the belt as needed.

How Early Can You Obtain the Vehicle Annual Inspection Sticker?

Vehicle annual inspection stickers can be obtained up to three months in advance. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. During the application process, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle's registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, and vehicle safety technical inspection qualification certificate. Annual inspection refers to the safety examination conducted every year or every two years, which includes comprehensive checks on components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, and license plate installation. Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate the license plates and prohibit further operation. Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection without valid reasons or fail the inspection are not allowed to be driven on the road or transferred to another jurisdiction.
