MT and CVT transmissions differ in their shifting methods: MT is a manual transmission that uses different gear combinations to transmit power, with gear changes achieved by pressing the clutch pedal and manually shifting the gear lever; CVT is a continuously variable transmission that employs a belt and variable-diameter pulleys (primary and secondary) to transmit power, making it an automatic transmission. Methods for maintaining a car's transmission include: 1. Changing transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly checking fluid levels; 4. Not skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Not forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Not shortening warm-up idling time; 7. Avoiding gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission; 9. Performing regular maintenance on automatic transmissions.

What Causes the Engine to Make a Popping Sound?

Engine popping sounds are caused by: 1. Engine misfire, where the exhaust gas flow from the car shows obvious intermittency, accompanied by severe shaking of the exhaust pipe; 2. Engine carbon buildup or a clogged filter, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture; 3. During cold starts, the engine's lubrication is less effective, and the engine oil has poor fluidity and is more viscous—popping sounds are normal in this case. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator scale; 4. Regularly removing engine carbon deposits; 5. Periodically replacing the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.
