What procedures are required to switch from manual to automatic transmission?
2 Answers
To change a vehicle from manual to automatic transmission, provide the motor vehicle license, owner's ID card, and motor vehicle registration certificate. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Gear introduction: A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it is.
Honestly, switching from manual to automatic transmission is no small matter. First, you need to find a reliable repair shop because they have to remove the entire gearbox and install a new one, plus adjust the computer system to ensure compatibility between components. I've seen many friends tinker with it themselves, only to end up with warning lights flashing everywhere after starting the car, significantly compromising safety. The whole process takes at least a few days, costing anywhere from a few thousand to over ten thousand yuan, plus you'll need to pay extra for registration. When registering at the DMV, you must bring vehicle documents and modification certificates, otherwise it might not be legally valid, and in case of an accident, insurance companies could easily deny claims. Don't skimp on proper testing to save money—it affects daily driving smoothness and longevity. Overall, professional guidance is key.
