If the gear suddenly becomes loose and can't engage, here are the solutions: Solution: If all gears are difficult to engage, it is likely a clutch issue. In this case, take the car to a repair shop to adjust the clutch. If only certain gears are hard to engage, it may be a problem with the linkage between the gear lever and the transmission's shifting mechanism. First, try adjusting the shift control mechanism. If that doesn’t work, the transmission may need repair, and it’s recommended to visit a repair shop. Manual Transmission Shifting Tips: Upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating: For manual transmission cars, remember the principle of "upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating"; Timing the shift: Generally, downshift when the engine speed drops below around 1500 RPM.

How Often Should Original Brake Fluid Be Replaced?

Original brake fluid is recommended to be replaced every 2 years, but the actual replacement interval mainly depends on individual driving habits, road conditions, and environmental factors. Therefore, there is no specific replacement time or mileage standard. The replacement cycle for brake fluid varies among different car brands as specified in their official maintenance schedules. This is related to the brand of brake fluid and the vehicle model. Brake fluid has certain corrosive properties and strong water absorption. Many repair shops now have specialized tools to test the water content in brake fluid, allowing for a check to determine if replacement is needed. The vehicle's braking system consists of brake pads, brake discs, brake calipers, the booster pump, and brake fluid working together. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, primarily functions to transmit pressure to the brake calipers. It has four main functions: energy transmission, rust and corrosion prevention, heat dissipation, and lubrication. Failing to replace it promptly as described in the maintenance manual can lead to severe consequences.

Can I Apply for a Color Change Without the Vehicle Registration Certificate?

It is not possible to register a color change for a vehicle without the registration certificate. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the following documents must be submitted: the Application Form for Vehicle Modification Registration, original and photocopies of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent, the original vehicle registration certificate, the original vehicle license, and payment of all fines before the color change. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the color change area of a vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to register the modification. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered and filed within 10 days after the color change. Notes on Vehicle Color Change: Before changing the color of a vehicle, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to check if the area permits color changes using wraps. If the area does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the Vehicle Registration Regulations, vehicle owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or similar to those of the aforementioned vehicles.
