What is Transmission Gear Ratio?

Transmission gear ratio refers to the situation where two gears of different diameters mesh together and rotate. Naturally, the larger-diameter gear will rotate slower than the smaller-diameter gear. Their rotational speed ratio is inversely proportional to the gear diameters. The engine's rotational speed in a car is altered by the gear set inside the transmission before being transmitted to the wheels. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Influencing Factors: The correct gear ratio should be selected through continuous testing based on the motor's T-number, the track's grip, the size of the venue, and the characteristics of the curves. It should ensure both quick starts and high speed on straight sections. 2. Calculation Method: Large gear motor gear = external gear ratio, differential gear bevel gear = internal gear ratio, external gear ratio X internal gear ratio = gear ratio. Generally, the internal gear ratio is fixed, so changing the gear ratio usually involves replacing the large gear or the motor gear.

Is a tire pressure of 4.0 too high for a van?

A tire pressure of 4.0 is too high for a van. The recommended tire pressure for vans is 2.2 to 2.5 bar in summer and 2.3 to 2.8 bar in winter. When carrying cargo, the front tires can be inflated to 2.5 bar, and the rear tires can be inflated to 3.0 bar, but should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure is like the blood pressure of a car, and its level plays a crucial role in the vehicle's performance and power. The standard tire pressure for a car can usually be found in the following places: on the label near the B-pillar of the driver's door, in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The recommended tire pressure for a van should be based on the manufacturer's specifications, as the tire pressure setting mainly considers factors such as the vehicle's weight and chassis height, and is not necessarily related to the brand of tires used.

What to Do If an Automatic Transmission Car Rolls Back on a Slope?

Solutions for an automatic transmission car rolling back on a slope: 1. Use your left foot to press the brake pedal while your right foot presses the accelerator to increase the RPM above 3000, then release the brake with your left foot; 2. Engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, press the accelerator until reaching a certain RPM, then release the handbrake; 3. Before approaching a toll booth, completely release the accelerator without pressing the brake. When the car's forward momentum fully dissipates, gently press the accelerator—this balances the gravitational pull and engine power, allowing the car to remain stationary on the slope. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual gear shifting, as the car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap on an Audi?

Audi's method for opening the fuel tank cap: Unlock the central locking system, then exit the vehicle and press the fuel tank cap. In the hydraulic system, the fuel tank not only stores fuel but also serves to dissipate heat, separate air bubbles from the oil, and settle impurities. Try to avoid waiting until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling, as doing so frequently can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Taking the Audi A6 as an example, its dimensions are 5012mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2945mm. The vehicle is equipped with features such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats, seat heating, wood trim accents, an electric rear window sunshade, BOSE audio system, memory function for front power seats and mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, and cruise control.

What is the correct method for starting an automatic transmission car on a slope?

Correct method for starting an automatic transmission car on a slope: 1. When starting on an uphill section with an automatic transmission, first firmly pull the handbrake, then start the car by pressing the brake pedal with your right foot; 2. Shift the gear to position 1 or 2, release the brake, place your right foot on the accelerator pedal to add throttle while simultaneously releasing the handbrake with your right hand; 3. When going downhill, also use a low gear, either 1 or 2, do not press the accelerator pedal, let the car descend by inertia, but keep your right foot on the brake pedal to control the speed. The difference between automatic and manual transmissions lies in the clutch and gearbox. When starting on a slope, an automatic transmission is more challenging, as it's not easy to shift into D gear when starting, or after barely shifting into D gear, you might hear a clunk sound, and the car may vibrate slightly.
