Excessive play in the gear shift lever is mostly caused by long-term aging and damage to the rubber bushings. Here are different solutions for excessive play in the gear shift lever: 1. If the excessive play is due to a large gap between the shift lever and the surrounding rubber, you can add a nylon sleeve in the original position to reduce the gap to the normal range. 2. If the excessive play is caused by significant wear of the handleball, you should first replace the entire shift lever mechanism and then adjust the length of the shift cable and selector cable. 3. In most cases, excessive play in the shift lever can be effectively resolved by replacing the entire shift mechanism.

What is the oil specification for the Mondeo 2.0t?

The Mondeo 2.0t uses fully synthetic 5W30 engine oil. Below is an introduction to engine oil: Engine oil performance: Under various conditions, the ability of engine oil to reduce friction, slow down wear, and prevent metal sintering is called the lubricity of the engine. The viscosity of engine oil is an important indicator for evaluating lubricity. Shelf life of engine oil: The simplest way to check the shelf life of car engine oil is to observe whether the viscosity of the oil has changed, determine if the smell of the oil has faded, and observe if the color of the oil has changed. When observing changes in oil color, pay attention to changes in the additives within the oil.

Why Do You Keep Pressing the Clutch While Practicing Driving?

You don't need to keep pressing the clutch while driving. Releasing the clutch during steady driving won't stall the car, and you don't need to press the clutch when accelerating by stepping on the throttle. Generally, you only need to press the clutch in the following situations: When starting the car: Quickly press the clutch and then release it to the semi-engaged state. When shifting gears: Operate the clutch pedal by pressing it quickly and releasing it immediately, avoiding the semi-engaged state, as this will accelerate clutch wear. When stopping the car: Press the clutch when the car speed is below 15km/h, then use the brake to bring the car to a stop.

What are the body dimensions of the Haval F5?

Haval F5's body dimensions are 4470mm in length, 1857mm in width, and 1638mm in height. The following is an introduction about body dimensions: Body dimension measurement: The width data does not include the two exterior rearview mirrors, and the height data includes the roof rack but not the antenna. The vehicle's class is generally determined by its body length and wheelbase. Body considerations: An oversized body may cause parking difficulties, as some underground parking lots or mechanical parking spaces have many restrictions. Observe carefully before parking to avoid scratches. Even if two cars have the same body dimensions, it doesn't mean their interior space is the same. When choosing a car, don't just look at the data; actually experience the interior space.
