What's the reason for the Baojun 730 gear disengagement?
3 Answers
Baojun 730 gear disengagement reasons are as follows: 1. Severe wear of transmission gears: The transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox. If the gears inside the gearbox are worn, it will prevent the vehicle from operating properly. The outer shaft of the gear will exert excessive force, and when this force continuously exceeds the force generated by the spring, it will cause the vehicle to automatically disengage the gear. 2. Weakened or damaged locking spring force: Locking springs are divided into free-type gas springs, self-locking gas springs, balance gas springs, and traction gas springs. Regardless of the type, the spring mainly serves a supporting role, and the elasticity of the spring is crucial. The locking spring piston rod is hollow, and its operating principle involves controlling the gear lever through the rod's wrench mechanism. If the locking spring's force weakens or is damaged, it will cause the vehicle to automatically disengage the gear.
Recently, my Baojun 730 has also experienced gear popping issues, which is really frustrating. Gear popping usually refers to the sudden disengagement of gears after shifting, a common problem in manual transmission vehicles. There could be multiple causes: excessive clutch wear, incorrect pedal free play; or worn synchronizers inside the gearbox, especially after prolonged half-clutch driving. In economical family cars like the Baojun 730, clutch cables can sometimes loosen or rust, leading to rough shifting. I once encountered gear popping while climbing a hill and found it was due to a slight hydraulic system oil leak. I recommend first checking if the clutch fluid level is low—simple maintenance like changing transmission oil can also prevent issues. If problems persist, it's best to visit a reliable repair shop for diagnosis. Safety first—don't take it lightly, and maintain a calm mindset while driving.
I've been driving my Baojun 730 for three years now. Last summer, I experienced gear disengagement – it felt like the gears popped out by themselves after shifting. After some research, I found it might be due to a loose shift linkage or aging clutch assembly, which is common in older vehicles frequently driven in congested areas. Back then, I spent just 300 yuan to replace the linkage rod, which fixed the issue – not expensive and quite hassle-free.
Daily driving habits matter: avoid excessive half-clutch usage to prevent rapid wear. Regularly check transmission fluid and clutch cables, and address any abnormal noises or stiff gear changes promptly. Baojun vehicles are easy to maintain – frequent forum visits can teach you simple DIY adjustments.
Remember, don't rush into major repairs. Start troubleshooting minor issues first. After all, cars require patient maintenance, just like people do.
