The reason for the abnormal noise when shifting into reverse gear is the friction between gears during gear engagement, and the reverse gear lacks a synchronizer. Friction between gears during gear engagement: When the clutch is depressed, the transmission reverse gear is still rotating for a short period. Engaging the gear at this time will inevitably cause gear grinding. If you wait a few seconds after depressing the clutch until the rotating reverse gear comes to a complete stop before engaging the gear, the abnormal noise will not occur. Reverse gear lacks a synchronizer: For a short time after the clutch is depressed, due to inertia, the internal gears of the transmission are still in a freewheeling state. If the gear is engaged immediately after depressing the clutch, the reverse gear will collide with the speed difference, resulting in resistance and gear grinding noise. Inspect, repair, or replace the damaged synchronizer, and the abnormal noise will be eliminated. Precautions when shifting into reverse gear: Reverse slowly; do not reverse too quickly. Avoid stepping hard on the accelerator for rapid acceleration in reverse, as this can cause significant damage to the straight-cut gears. Additionally, straight-cut gears transmit power very directly, resulting in poor smoothness.

What does NO mean in cars?

The symbol for normally open is NO, corresponding to the first letter O of the English word 'open'. Contacts that remain open when not energized are called normally open contacts. The symbol for normally closed is NC, corresponding to the first letter C of the English word 'close'. Contacts that remain closed when not energized are called normally closed contacts. Meaning of NO in cars: Whether normally open or normally closed, both refer to their original state. Once energized, their states reverse. Normally open contacts will close, and normally closed contacts will open. Working principle: Relays rely on the magnetic force generated by the coil to operate the switch. The coil acts like a large inductor, producing a significant back electromotive force during energization and de-energization. Diodes and capacitors are installed to absorb this interference and prevent damage to other circuit components. Simply put, this is an anti-interference measure.

How to Remove Oil Film from Windshield?

Methods to remove oil film from windshield: 1. Use an oil film cleaner to remove the oil film. Before use, wash the car thoroughly to avoid attached sand particles scratching the glass; 2. Directly scrub with dish soap and a cloth; 3. Go to a car beauty shop for glass polishing treatment; 4. Use toothpaste (must be baking soda toothpaste) to remove it. Toothpaste contains abrasives, and baking soda also has oil-removing properties. The formation of oil film on the car windshield is due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, heavy rain, wind erosion, etc., which causes the windshield surface to develop many microscopic holes or rough pits. Over time, some oily substances, car wax substances, and dust from daily driving easily adhere to the roughened windshield surface. After a long time, a small portion of these substances may chemically react with the glass, forming an oil film layer.

How to Drive an Automatic Car for Better Fuel Efficiency?

Correct driving methods for fuel efficiency in automatic cars: 1. Reduce prolonged idling, as excessive idling time will increase fuel consumption. If the vehicle is parked in one place for a long time, it is best to turn off the engine and wait. 2. Avoid stepping hard on the accelerator when starting; let the car start slowly, maintain an economical speed, and avoid frequently braking hard. 3. Do not drive at low speeds for long distances, as this can cause carbon buildup in the engine, which will significantly increase fuel consumption over time. 4. Maintain a reasonable distance from other vehicles. If you don't keep a proper distance, you may frequently need to brake on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic car will drop, forcing the engine to pull the car back up from a lower gear, consuming more fuel. 5. Avoid storing unnecessary items in the car.
