What is the difference between MT and AT in cars?

Transmission types are different; AT stands for automatic transmission, while MT stands for manual transmission. The following is a related introduction to transmissions: 1. Automatic transmission is a type of gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmission. 2. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in cars: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission. Hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic drive and planetary gears, typically consisting of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. 3. Depending on the drive method, they can also be divided into front-engine rear-wheel drive and front-engine front-wheel drive types. AT does not require a clutch to shift gears, has fewer gear changes with larger variations, and provides smooth connection.

I've been driving manual transmission for over a decade. MT stands for manual transmission, where you have to press the clutch and shift gears yourself. It gives you a sense of involvement—when you want to overtake, just downshift and rev the throttle, the response is quick and it's more fuel-efficient. AT (automatic transmission) is much more convenient, just shift to D and go, no worries about left leg cramps in traffic jams. However, manual transmission cars are about 10,000 RMB cheaper, and maintenance is simpler—replacing a clutch plate costs just a few hundred RMB, whereas fixing an automatic transmission can run into thousands. Nowadays, automatic transmission technology is getting better—dual-clutch transmissions shift quickly, CVTs offer smooth driving—but if you really want to enjoy driving dynamics, manual transmission is the way to go.

Is driving at 40 km/h frequently harmful to the car?

Driving at 40 km/h frequently is harmful to the car. Reasons for the harm: If the vehicle runs at low speed for a long time, the engine cannot deliver the corresponding power, which affects the combustion efficiency of gasoline in the engine cylinder, leading to the formation of a large amount of carbon deposits that adhere to the throttle valve, fuel injector, and engine combustion chamber. The formation of a large amount of carbon deposits further affects the engine's power performance, ranging from reduced acceleration to severe cases of burning engine oil; long-term low-speed operation of the engine can easily lead to the generation of a large amount of carbon deposits, significantly affecting performance. Solutions: Visually inspect whether there is oil, water, or hardening on the front wheel brake discs and pads; if the brake discs and pads are normal, check each brake cylinder for oil leakage, whether the brake caliper fixing plate is loose, and whether the friction pads have difficulty returning to position, among other phenomena.

Which is more expensive, automatic transmission or manual transmission tuition fees?

Automatic transmission tuition fees are slightly more expensive than manual transmission tuition fees. Here is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Manual transmission principle: Two fans placed opposite each other, the turbine and the pump wheel. The wind force blown by one fan will drive the blades of the other fan to rotate, and the wind force becomes the medium for kinetic energy transmission. 2. Automatic transmission principle: Since the torque converter's automatic speed and torque variation range is not large enough, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system will automatically operate the planetary gears according to the changes in the engine's operation, thereby achieving automatic speed and torque variation.

What is the maximum speed limit on narrow bridges?

When motor vehicles pass through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges, the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 km/h. Below is a detailed introduction to situations where the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 km/h: 1. Entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges. 2. Making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes. 3. Encountering fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility within 50 meters. 4. Driving on icy, snowy, or muddy roads. 5. Towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle. 6. Among these, tractors, electric vehicles, and wheeled special machinery must not exceed 15 kilometers per hour.

How to Handle the Buick Overspeed Alarm Shutdown?

Press the button to reset the alarm speed. The following is a detailed introduction about Buick cars: 1. Brand Introduction: With the phasing out of Oldsmobile in 2004, Buick became the only entry-level luxury car brand headquartered in North America. 2. Company Introduction: In July 2009, General Motors completed its restructuring, ending bankruptcy protection, with Buick and three other brands retained while the other four were sold. The company is renowned for its advanced technology, having pioneered overhead valves, turn signals, tinted glass, automatic transmissions, and other advanced technologies.

How to fold down the rear seats of BYD Song?

There is a groove near the headrest with a latch that can be flipped to fold down the seats. Below is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Split-folding rear seats: This means the backrest of the rear seats can be folded down in a certain ratio. Compared to folding the entire rear seat, split-folding offers higher flexibility. You can fold down only half of the backrest to accommodate large items while the remaining part can still be used for seating. 2. Disadvantages: When the rear seats are folded down, they cannot be used for seating, which reduces the number of passengers the vehicle can carry. 3. Full folding: Generally, only the entire rear seat can be folded down, mainly to increase the storage space of the trunk. Full folding can also enhance comfort.

How to Set All Four Horns of Peugeot 308 to Sound?

Simply turn on the AB group to hear all four horns sound simultaneously. Below is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Door Soundproofing: A double-layer soundproofing treatment has been applied to the car's door panels, effectively reducing resonance noise in the door panel area and enhancing the rigidity of the sheet metal. 2. Audio Configuration: The rear sound field uses the Hexin H161 coaxial horn, which has high sensitivity and good synchronization, fully expressing the texture of the music. Moreover, the Hexin H161 can also achieve a unified musical taste with the front sound field horn. The installation depth of the Hexin H161 is relatively shallow, and installing it in the original position of the rear door panel does not require extensive modifications to the car's original wiring.
